Vent: I'm seriously annoyed
My aunt decided to invite her friend and her friend's sister to my shower. She mentioned a couple months ago this lady, who she used to work with and goes to her church wanted to come. I was like wtf, I met this woman a handful of times and didn't think it was appropriate that she be invited, especially since this is the first time I've been home in a year and wanted to spend the day with my closest friends and family. My college girlfriends are scattered all over, and I am shocked they are all coming Sunday and am so excited to see them, especially since I haven't seen one who was one of my BMs since our wedding, and the others since last year when I came home and they all came down and we had a little reunion. I told my aunt to talk to my BFF who is the hostess, just because I know if I told my aunt no, she'd be all upset and and tell me it's not that big a deal this lady come, but BFF might be able to say it in a nice way to kind of diffuse the situation and tell her that it's more for close friends and family.
Well today my aunt calls to say she'll see me at dinner tonight, and then informs me that her friend and her sister are coming then. I'm so peeved she didn't ask the hostess, even though I gave J a heads up that she was trying to invite this woman, she never contacted my BFF to ask/tell her. Now I feel like it's going to be so awkward with these people that no one else knows or has ever met, and I feel super awkward having them there. Everyone else knows each other, all were guests at my bridal shower and wedding, ect, plus my friends have all met my family numerous times, and some friends, like my BFF are pretty much family since we've known each other so long. Grrrr! No real point to this, I'm just super annoyed now.

What is wrong with people???
My baby shower was hosted by my sisters, but at my house. Someone rang the doorbell and I opened the door to someone I didn't know. She asked if I was Lindsay and I said yes. Turns out she was MIL's cousin or something. She knew my mom through a strange connection but my mom wasn't home for my baby shower. MIL hadn't arrived yet and no one else knew here and it was really weird.
Why do people have to make baby showers so much more stress than necessary?! Pregnant ladies don't need the extra stress!!!!
Sorry you are having to deal with this. I hope you are enjoying your trip otherwise!
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I actually know how you feel. This might make you feel better.....
DH's grandma knew that we were paying per person for our wedding and that we had RSVPs ect.... She invites some random neighbor and random neighbors 10 year old son....it was a formal wedding. (I'm sure you saw pictures) they were wearing jeans and really messy t shirts. The kid was wearing jean shorts and was ALL over the f'ing place. None of us had ANY IDEA who the hell they were and the worst thing is they are in pictures! Lots of them.
We happened to have two people not show up and I assume they took their place. I mean we has place settings for each person. With their names on the plate!!!
People are insane. I will never forget those two weird people who "crashed" my wedding.
Does that help? Lol
