what do u say to the aunties who will complain to ur face if they don’t get invited…especially the ones who u KNOW dont do anything besides talking crap about ppl. aunties who you specifically don’t want at the wedding cuz u know they will pick on every detail (food, decor, clothes, etc) n how it wasn’t as “perfect” as their own daughters’ weddings etc.
any good excuses to give them in order to avoid their annoying comments about not being invited? or r u really just stuck with having to give them an invitation card?
also, what are ppl’s thoughts about “mr and mrs” invitations? do most ppl actually follow them? i mean, some ppl in our community dont even have the slightest idea that “mr n mrs” means that u actually don’t bring the kids and all extended family within the country. what is your experience with such invitations?
My family is very particular about following what the invite addresses. In the circumstance that we have to take an extra member we always try to ask the hosts in advance whether its ok to bring someone else, or make it a point to explain the reason why we bought an extra guest (like a child being too young to be left alone or an elderly relative visiting who couldnt be left alone either)
As for the aunties, there any many who we may not like but who have to be invited because they're (extended) family or the mother in law of a cousin/sibling/ etc.
best thing is to ignore them
Same problem here.. i knwo several aunties.. who wanted to be invited purely to offer their NOT NEEDED opinions.. a friend of mine has an awesome solution to this one.. she told the hall can only accomodate xzy number of people, and we couldn't find another venue because of dates and such..
also yea the mr. and mrs. thing totally does not work, at a shaad i went to they had sent out mr. and mrs. cards.. .and one family showed up with their entire extended family not to mention like 6 kids under the age of 5, what's worse is that this couple had done a seating chart so mr. and mrs. and their entire family ended up taking a whole table!
lol.. there were a couple of threads before that had some amazing responses from a bunch of brides here regarding this topic. let me see if i can find a few and post them here. mahi, can you help? :)
