RSVP
I often have family dinner parties inviting aunts,uncles,cousins,etc. I have one aunt who 1) ALWAYS LATE,I mean hours late. 2)ALWAYS invites other people (her grown children) to my parties without my permission and 3) often has rsvp'd,then maybe an hour before the party,she calls to say she can't come,then continues a conversation . I've heard from another member of the family she asked why she had not been invited to a family member's party.
I always invite her and change her invitation an hour before everyone's time(she's still hours late) this back fired on me the last party because she invited her grandson ad his wife (without my knowledge) so they showed up an hour before the party!! I stopped inviting her grown children because they would rsvp and not show up,no call and sometimes it would cost me extra money. If I catered the party or ordered extra tables and chairs.
Should I stop inviting her or just know she's going to do these things! I'm tired of having to reheat the food when she shows up!
Another Aunt rsvps,the day before the party she cancels,always a different excuse. Should I stop inviting her as well?
It could be a sticky situation if I stop inviting them.
Also I don't like my uncle's girlfriend,love him,but I don't invite him because I know she'll come. Others in the family don't like her either but they invite her to get-together anyway. My sister says I should invite my uncle,what do you think?
Re: RSVP
What an annoying situation!
Personally, I'd always invite the relatives, just to keep the peace, but I would never include them in my headcount. If they show up 2 hours late and there's no food or no seats, well, too bad for them. So keep the peace publicly, but privately, cut them out of your planning.
If this were just friends, yes, I'd stop inviting them. In fact, faced with this situation, I did let a friendship fizzle out when I got tired of extending invitations. But family is something else.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
To be honest with you, I don?t invite people that don?t come or that bring others without asking.
When i see them again and they ask me how come I have not received and invitation from you, I tell them directly that is because they never come or that I have a limited amount of food and I cannot have additional people coming in.
I know it sound rude, but they are going to talk about how bad you are anyway. So while spoil a nice evening with unwanted people, regardless of who they are.
Tell the poeple you invite him only.
we only need to care for some one we would like.
we don't undertake some unmeaningless gossip words from some one we don't care for.
