turns out we have had a lot of our guests respond that they are not coming to the wedding. tomorrow is the deadline for RSVP''s, and with our count we are looking at being almost 75 people below our anticipated (even after assuming 20-30% wouldn''t come). so now FMIL would like to invite all of her cousins who we originally said we would simply not have the room for.
i am cringing about this. i really don''t want to send out these extra invitations, but can''t really find a way out. she suggested at first just crossing about the RSVP date- i about died when she said that and flat out refused- i mean seriously, how rude is that? ewww.
here is my suggestion- its awful no matter how i look at it, but this is the best i could come up with:
send out the invite asap, like, tomorrow, but not include the RSVP. then i''m having FMIL call all of these guests she is inviting. she said she will call them on wednesday. she is a huge procrastinator, so im just praying she will get all of these calls made.
ugh. i feel sick about this because it totally is not me, but at the same time, i''m kind of thinking this is her family, its people i dont know and more than likely won''t see again, so if it reflects poorly on anyone it would be her. and at this point i don''t believe many of them will come- which i don''t really care if they come more not.
