Wow, I remember when I had well over 300 + days to go, and now I am down to 30! Yikes! I am feeling pretty good at the moment. I have a bit of mixed feelings though. I am anxious, excited, nervous and a little bit stressed. The stress comes from inconsiderate people that are causing unnecessary drama! Also, stress comes from the people who have not turned in the pre-stamped RSVP postcard. I have heard it ALL! 

 1. “I didn’t know we were supposed to send that back in” (I guess they didn’t read the note that basically says MAIL THE REPLY or we will consider you as DECLINED!)

 2. “Well, I just assumed you knew we were coming”. (Oh REALLY? I guess I am supposed to be okay with having to maybe pay for ASSUMED GUEST!)
(or this one, that really pisses me off).

3. “Oh, we lost our invite. Just put us down for 3”. (How ABOUT – NO!)

People, people, people. Let’s have at least a little bit of respect for the bride/groom/payee that has spent money on invitations and stamps and for EVEN inviting you to the wedding! That is a privilege!

 So anyway, back to my being excited about 30 days!! Yippee!!! The thought of being this man’s WIFE, takes the stress away of all the nonsense! I am TRULY living my fairytale!! I still get tingles when he walks through the door at night with our son. I still blush when he stares at me. I am in LOVE!!! YAYY!! And that is the most important thing!!

I’ll meet you at the alter my darling!!!!!

Next…getting ready to prepare for our marriage license application!!! Yayyy!!!

Is there a book on wedding guest etiquette??

Why do people try to make other people’s wedding a family get together/reunion? Just wondering. It seems like when you get married, everyone wants to come and invite others as well at the payee’s expense. At this point of my planning stage, I should get this tattooed on my face “MY WEDDING IS NOT A FAMILY REUNION!”

 

Are people forgetting the cost that’s involved?

 

$25 for food pp, $10 for drinks pp, $2 for chair cover pp, $10 per table linen $3 for guest favors pp and $2.00 for a slice of cake pp

 

What makes someone I haven’t seen or spoken to in 2 or 3 years think they should get an invite? What makes a family member think that it is okay to invite 3rd or 4th cousins that no one knows? What makes a person think its okay to invite a bunch of children? What makes it okay for a guest to bring 2 or three uninvited guests with them and think nothing of it? Who thinks its okay to go to a person’s wedding with no gift or even an envelope? If I send you an rsvp card and it clearly states that we reserved 3 seats for you, why would you write in 5 people’s names? Is it okay to NOT RSVP, and just show up? Is it okay to rsvp a week or two after the rsvp due date??

 

Just askin???

 

Now that I am planning a wedding, I will now and forever pledge going forth to be the best guest I can be. I followed the rules before, but it will now be my duty to educate ignorant wedding guest on wedding guest etiquette.

 

 

The End,
