Wedding Vent!

Re: Wedding Vent!

  • Also, for the record, my kid has been to one wedding and two wedding receptions, out of probably 10 weddings that we have gone to in the past two years- the wedding and one of the receptions was while I was still bfing, and I spent the entire wedding sitting outside the church because he was babbling and I didn't want him to distract anyone. So, no, I'm not going to let my kid ruin the cake. I can't imagine any of my friends not inviting my kid (unless they were doing a degree of no kids- either no kids or no family kids).

    But I can't believe that no one else can understand that if your kid was specifically not invited because the bride/groom thought you were a poor parent that it wouldn't hurt your feelings. Okay?

    1000 Comments Third Anniversary 5 Love Its Combo Breaker

    I only did plus one for people who I knew had a serious BF/FI that I also knew. I didn't want strangers at my wedding.

    My sister tried to get me to invite all her BFFs. Huh?

  • My girlfriend ran into this same issue and did what I thought was the most gracious and mannerly thing possible. She called each of them up and told them very sweetly that they were welcome to bring the extra people but that as they had only paid for X number of people and to please bring $xx per person to cover what the venue/caterer would be charging them at the end of the night. Guess how many people decided to show up with extra guests after that??? In this economy some people seem to see a reception as a free party with open bar. Usually these same people dont see a need to bring a gift because after all they showed up and gave you the gift of their presence... Good Luck
