Super May 2019

I'm going to lose it, wedding style.

Jessica, on May 2, 2019 at 2:47 PM Posted in Planning 0 33

I always thought people were dramatic about how crazy people get about weddings. I thought my peeps were normal enough. We are 8 days out. 8. In the last two days I've gotten:


--A couple that declined (after the deadline that I had to chase down for even that)...caught us in the store. Now "I do have a Friday off coming up...if it happens to be that Friday, are we still invited?"

--A cousin that has NEVER been in a relationship. Introduced us to her first boyfriend after invites were out but before RSVPs were due. I messaged her privately and invited said boyfriend. She was thrilled. Told me he would be there, sent me the outfit he was wearing, and wrote him in on the RSVP. Now "she doesn't know if he ever asked off work but she'll be there either way." Smiley angry

--Another cousin, also not in a relationship but found out cousin A was bringing her boyfriend (maybe) "So....can I get a plus one too or is it too late?"


PEOPLE! Seating chart is done....escort cards are done....caterer is paid. LEAVE ME ALONE!!

    Hahah people dont understand. They'll get it when they're planning their wedding! Just let it go. Don't even think about it for one more second, and just tell people "there's nothing I can do about anything at this point, sorry".

    I haven't had anyhting happen yet, but there are some people that I know can cause trouble sooo... Im just waiting haha

    I understand! I sent out save the dates 10 months in advance. 10 months of our guests knowing our wedding was the month after Christmas. And when invites went out we didn't her from anyone in one particular family. After I followed up with them for not sending their RSVP thtey told me they'd have to wait and see about their budget after Christmas...Um....if you were going to make this a priority, you would have budgeted.

    This was also a family that had to come to FL from PA so I knew right then and there that they were not coming.

    We also had people write in others that were not invited. One guest even brought her un-invited granddaughter and daughter. Talk about how awkward it must've been not seeing their names on the seating chart.

    It's not going to matter day of, none of the little stuff will matter! Breathe and relax none of this is a big deal in the grand scheme of things, annoying yes but not worth stressing or wasting energy getting upset. Congrats on the 8 days out enjoy it!

    Haha! If this was the least of MY family drama, I would have been okay! It actually made me physically sick. Consider yourself lucky.

    Omg, our RSVP deadline is today and I am sooo dreading the last minute changes/cancellations that I’m sure we’ll get throughout the next month 🤦🏻‍♀️ I already got a couple bad ones...
    -my uncle RSVPd in FEBRUARY (we sent early invitations to VIPs only because they all kept asking lol) and he said he and his two kids would be attending. A few weeks ago I texted him about something totally unrelated and then at the end of my text, casually threw in a “so do you guys have your flights yet?” And he responds “yes, (son) and I have our flights but (daughter) isn’t coming.” I’m like...... excuse me but were you planning to tell me that or were you just going to let me pay for her when she wouldn’t be there...?
    -we had invited a friend I have known almost my whole life, and her mother. They both RSVPd yes. We saw them last week and when we left, I was like “see you in June!” and the mom was like “oh yeah, you’ll definitely see me in June but I don’t know about (daughter). She has to be back at work on Monday so I’m hoping she can just fly back on Sunday night after the wedding but I’m not sure yet. I just put her down as a yes though in case.” 😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

    Oh goodness I'm so sorry to hear all this. Sending good vibes your way. the idea of organizing seating makes me sick to my stomach so I'm just doing open seating. Hope it all works out.

    Our seating chart is due tomorrow and in the last few days we've found out that 2 cousins who never actually RSVP'd but we were informed via the grapevine were coming, actually aren't. Never were planning on it, just got miscommunicated. And one cousin who also didn't RSVP but had called to say they were coming told us they weren't bringing their youngest daughter. That's fine, it's only like $175 worth of non-refundable food and drink we've already paid for...😠

    Oh my goodness, yes! My step sister has been with someone for YEARS but they've had drama and been on and off lately. So after the RSVP date had passed I asked her if he was coming. She said "I have my RSVP in the car I'll send it." A week later, nothing, so I texted her "hey, I have to turn numbers in, is he coming?" She literally just said "it'll be 4." So there's STILL no telling if he's one of the 4 or not. But it'll look hella awkward on her if she brings the current flavor of the week instead of him because it's him with an escort card since I couldn't just get a straight answer!

    I hope it goes smooth for you. I really didn't think there would be any trouble. And it's definitely not the end of the world but it does make me want to tell people like...this isn't Monopoly money here! Lol

    Thanks! I haven't ACTUALLY lost it. Just feel like it. I'm also dealing with getting my caterer/DJ/Photographer to agree on a timeline so that's the bulk of my stress and it magnifies the annoyances. Lol...but you're right. I just keep saying "at the end of the day, we'll be married!"

    Oh my gosh! How do people not understand this is not a "just in case" situation?! So frustrating. I had a couple last minute cancellations too but luckily they were both the day before I paid the final payment so I could still adjust. I hope you don't get anymore craziness!

    I've had people give that flippant response too: "Oh but if you move it to Friday, that would be cool!"... It's in 30 days. I'm not moving it for you OBVIOUSLY.

    I wish I could have done open seating! Our venue was too small to set up the extra tables/chairs needed to do that so I went with assigning tables but not seats. I hope it works well for you!

    I'm two months out and I've already lost it! Haha! I'm recovering. But, like I said, you're lucky.

    NO! Ugh I'm so sorry. People are so rude even if they don't know they're being rude.
