when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

ummm - I am haunted with the thought that one of the girls I know, is already “inviting” herself to any of my siblings wedding.

What’s up with that?

My siblings may get married within the next two years… but since the past year that I have known this girl - she NEVER forgets to mention that “any weddings coming up in your family? Please don’t forget me”… :frowning:

What do I do?

I mean, even if it’s my siblings getting married - they will be paying for it - so how can I force her name to be listed - in the future?

lol - gosh am i creating a problem out of nothing? but then again - it’s not “nothing” - she is serious - so I would have to include her entire family - her hubby and two kids… :frowning: what to do?

(mods please correct the “future” spelling in my title) thanks :slight_smile:

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

maybe she needs a chacne to dress up and go somewhere and really likes weddings? :(

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

ye sara, she loves it just as much as I do... but western weddings require you to cut down on your "expense" aka "guests :(

I just wished weddings were like back home so you do not have to worry if you are inviting one and 10 comes along.

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

maybe she never went to any wedding as no body invite her at all that is why she wants to attend your and siblings' weddings!?

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

oh no... she has been to weddings...

she went to Pakistan 2 times in the past 5 months for weddings!!!!

but here's what I think I know... I know she likes our side of families - maybe she is trying to "google" someone from the wedding crowd for her sisters back in Pakistan?

?

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

Just don't invite her, what is she gonna do, kill you? She sounds like trouble anyway!

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

Whats the problem in inviting her? maybe hse wont show up!

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

The problem in inviting her is - shelling out $70 per person ! That is whether or not she shows up.. . I still pay

so it would cost me 70*4!!!!!!!!! for her fam

that too just because SHE wants to invite herself lol - otherwise she would not be on our guest list :)

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

no she won't kill me - but I am trying to find out a better way to "avoid" without being mean - you know what i mean?

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

^ i know what you mean, i went through this, this past summer for my sisters wedding. You just have to ignore people like that, unless to make her happy your willing to pay $70. Which i know your not, so use your parents as an excuse, that its only close family memebers.

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

let her down gently and suggest that they have very limited guest capacity as they are holding a small wedding and family members only... if she continues.. then best to ignore her as people like that become very clingy and can make your own life a little suffocating!!

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

Yes, I agree with Samina....making a very polite excuse would be best, esp if it were your siblings wedding, it should be their choices mainly for the guest list(and numbers would be restricted...) and you could very politely mention this if it comes up in the future...

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

yes I hope I don't look fake when I make up an excuse. She is a lovely chit-chatter and I enjoy her company... but I know she has ways to avoid me too and then when we meet after a long time - she acts such a lovey dovey "best" friend ever type of hug and talks... I hope I can learn something from her - and do the same she easily does...
:)

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

lol...i have a 'friend' who is the same...she just attaches herself to me when she finds out a sibling is getting married...and just wants to come to see how weddings are done in our family and do 'tankeed' on every little thing, and i fall for it veery time......
aaah i can understand your frustration...you havent got a wedding coming up now, also when it comes to the time, tell her that you have a number of guests allocated and that its not possible for her to attend as you need to prioritise the guests....but promise her that she will get to see the movie and pics....
maybe by then you wont' be so close anymore aur iss ki nobat hi nai aaye gi ke uss ko talna pare

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

such a cosmetic world we live in.

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

the girl just wants to party!
or if shes single, she wants to hunt a hottie down! lol

i know ppl like that... just be like " any weddings in ur family? please dont forget me!" lol

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

i know loads of girls like that, they just get pally with you so they get invited to do's.

Re: when people already "book" with you for a furure wedding =(

Weirdo.

Such a shame you were unable to get a venue with as much seating capacity as you would have liked. As it stands there are not even enough seats for the family members so daddy has proclaimed that we are not allowed to invite anyone else except on his limited guest list.

Re: when people already “book” with you for a furure wedding =(

you are being scarcartic at my post, but fortunately I agree with you lol

I wished we could invite the world over, and not have to worry about the wedding halls “booker” frowning on us at “squeezing” in more people for “less” space :omg:

Re: when people already “book” with you for a furure wedding =(

yes totally true. All of a sudden you have more best friends :halo:

they disappear after the wedding though :frowning:
