Wedding is my new life...

Posted Monday, April 14, 2008 10:35 PM

Do you find yourself talking about your wedding and only your wedding with people. It's like your previous life vanished and all that you are is just another bride to be. They want to see your ring, know your venue and want to know everything about your dress. I have even had people assume they are invited to the wedding, which is rude. It's people I never speak to expect for me to suddenly invite them to share in our special day when they have not shared the last year of our lives together. Did this happen to anyone else? What do you do when people invite themselves to your wedding? Would it be wrong to address some cards to just one person and not allow some people to bring a date (if they are single)?

Be careful to whom you talk wedding-talk with.  That may be why they assume they are invited.  If someone you are not planning on inviting asks for details, be vague and change the subject.  

We've sent out STD's, and are using a website that guests can RSVP on.  Only about 7 have actually RSVP, and 3 of them have invited their own guests.  It's a pain, but I add those people on to our guest list.    Only invite single people with no date if they know a lot of people there.

Guilty!   But no, many people understand that just because they ask questions doesn't mean they are going.  My former boss was asking my questions about it and an admin asst came up to me later and totally cornered me - she wasn't in the conversation she just heard it - so its safe to say that crazy people assume automatically that they get an invite.  My new mantra is to not talk about with just anyone.  And no, the rule is that if the invite is address to one specific person then they don't get to bring a date unless they ask to which it is your discretion.  Feeding people at a wedding cost serious cash - don't be afraid to say no.
