Our families are gonna drive me insane!

Why is it that I am supposed to be sending out my invites tomorrow and I am still missing 17 addresses????? I have asked both mine and fh's family for over a MONTH now and no one can get back to me on people THEY wanted to invite in the first place! Funny enough my dad is the only one who has come through will all addresses and he is the least reliable of them all!

UGH, I hear you...it's been like pulling teeth just to get the addresses for the STD worthy people, so I can imagine the invites. And the BEST is all the c/o addresses because they don't know their real ones, so send it to the brother, sister, parents of, etc. How about if you don't know where they live, they don't get invited?

My thoughts exactly!!!!!!!

So FH just spent 45 mins on the phone with FMIL who gave him like 8 addresses from out of the country.. It was sooo funny to hear them do this over the phone because he couldn't understand her and was spelling things wrong like crazy! He finally inputs them all into my excel spreadsheet and closes out of the document WITHOUT SAVING!!!!!!!!!! He now is going to physically go to his moms to get the addresses because he can't bear to have another painful convo like that!
At this point, I gotta laugh!
