Very Disappointed!
Hi girls im posting under an anonymous name b/c i need some advice/ to vent re: my mom and well that explains the unknown name. I'm a very avid poster and just feel funny posting under my true name i hope you dont mind.
Quite a few months back i had been looking for invites and well i had pick out what i thought were the perfect ones and was going to order them but decided to hold off b/c it was way to early and well they were a on the expensive side. My parents at the time had offered to pay for the invites and i thanked them very much and took them up on their offer. Since then they have been bugging me to order them and i still had not done it. so This week i went on to order and realized they would be close to 900.00 for them and i know their money situation and choose to tell them that it was way to much that i would find something else even though it would be setting i was more then ok with finding something else. So i went on tongiht and found another PERFECT invite which i Love and it would be more around 650.00 Yes i know still very expensive but i think thats a pretty great deal for a pokcet fold with the whole kitten caboodle.
I told my mom about my great find thinking she would be happy and she keeps talking me into getting something PLAIN with no color just white and its not what i want. im very thankfull for them wanting to buy my invites but not if its something that i dont want. When i say no mom i dont like that or thats not my style she gets mad and she always has a comment about how i dont need expensive things and yes i know shes right but in the grand scheme of things i want the invite to reflect my wedding and if its not something i would like or want i shouldnt have to settle that much.
I prob sound like a major bridezilla but im just very Disappointed that everything i seem to like she doesnt or puts it down due to the $ if she cant afford them i TOTALLY UNDERSTAND i would be more then willing to split them or even pay for them myself. I just really dont want to hurt her feelings.
Sorry for the novel i just needed to vent and maybe get some adive on maybe where i could look to maybe get them cheaper. A DIY would possibly work but im a full time student and i work part time and would be driving my self insane with the pressure of having to get invites done and out on time. i would save myself the panic attacks if i just ordered them already done.
Is 650.00 too much for 100 pocketfold invites with respose cards, direction cards, accomidation cards, reception cards, envelopes, and stickers to close the pocket fold?
Thank you very much for listening!
