So I'm all done...

Original post by SeptBride70

With my invitation spreadsheet-- Well, I'm done with Vinny's side (my side is EASY). When I finish mine, I need to send them off to the Calligrapher.

The thing that struck me though which compelled me to post out of sheer shock...

Vinny's side ALONE: About 230 People and 115 or so Invites

My Side: About 55 People and hmm 25-30 Invites.

congrats on being done.
Sounds like my list.
38 on my side
152 on his side - I've met half his dad's family only once. I have no idea who the others are, and we've been together for 4 years !

Holy Crap!



There's a good 30 people on there that I have NEVER heard of or met-- and Vinny has NO clue who they are



Did you try talking to FIL about possibly cutting the list at all?



HA!!!! We have tried talking to them about possibly cutting their list like 15,000 times. 'There's no one that can be cut-- everyone is family and our friends are LIKE FAMILY'



At this point, I could care less b/c they are paying for their guests! The only downside to that is it costs me more money in CPs, favors, etc... But that's not a biggie. The other thing is: if they didn't have so many guests they would be able to help us out more with vendors b/c then that money would go to vendors b/c we are struggling to get by since Vin decided to be a Dr... it's hard but we'll do it

Thats great!! Every name ends in a vowel on FH's side as well!!

Yesssssssssssssssss

Peter has a Pasquale on his list too!! I was like really??? Can it get any more off the boat??

You would thoroughly enjoy our list Dani....
We've got Peter's very americanized side of one million Frankies, Michael, Peter and Joe's.
To a few of the fabulously vowel prone off the boat names.
To my dad's Puerto Rican list...which is a lot of Francisco Pineda Sierra de la Vega(oh hell..just add in the third while we are at it)...a million of those with four last names.
To my moms very small German list of Juergen und Silke Nattermann or KarlHeinz Diefendorf.

No crap...its the United Nations of a guest list I have.

LOL...I love Vin's list Dani...you must admit....it makes for a great chuckle



Oh no not the United Nations! We don't like them!

But that's so funny- your wedding will be a melting pot! That's awesome

It does make for a good laugh
