... Who are these people?! This officially makes 4. And the wedding is still 2 months away.
Re: More RSVP write-ins
Yikes! What is wrong with these people?
BTW - how did it go speaking with the other guests who were doing this? I know you were planning on phoning them all. Did you manage to get in touch with them? What did they say?
The conversations the other night went as follows:
Phone Call #1
Kande: Hi RudeGuest1! FI and I received your RSVP in the mail and are very excited to see you and Mr. RudeGuest1 at the wedding! Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate your daughter, little RudeGuest1.
RudeGuest1: Oh... Little RudeGuest1 really love you and would like to be there on your big day!
Kande: She really is a sweet girl, but like I said, we just dont have the space or budget to accommodate her. I hope you can understand that we only have space for you and Mr. RudeGuest1.
RudeGuest1: Hmmmm, okay. I guess I can understand that. We will be there, we'll just have to find her a babysitter.
Kande: Great!
Phone Call #2
Kande: Hi RudeGuest2! FI and I received your RSVP in the mail and are very excited to see you at the wedding! Unfortunately, we are unable to give you a plus 1 due to budget and space constraints.
RudeGuest2: Oh no! I've been FlavorOfTheMonth for 3 months now! I really wanted to show him off at your wedding!
Kande: I would love to meet him too! I'll be in town in a couple of weeks. We can all get together then. But, like I said, we just don't have the space or budget to accommodate extra guests.
RudeGuest2: Okay, let's get together when you're in town. And you really cant afford one more person. We all know your parents are loaded.
Kande: No. And its a budget and space issue. I'm sorry, but he just can't come. But I hope to see you at the wedding. Text me when and where you want to meet up next weekend.
Wow, I kind of get the first one because people seem to feel like their children should be invited to everything, but the second? That was super rude.
Have you ever noticed that people have NO problem asking you to shell out $100+ for their date, but they never ever offer to pay for it themselves? I'd say people don't understand how expensive weddings are, but they do. You know they do, I know they do and they know they do. People just suck.
Well, good for you. I particularly admire your diplomacy and restraint with RudeGuest2.
I wanted to go off on her. But I know her well enough to know it would have fallen on deaf ears. She really is a sweet girl, when she's not talking about how my parents have the money for... whatever.
