My beautiful daughter is engaged to a wonderful guy as of last friday!!!! So this is the age old issue of how does one limit the invites to the wedding. My daughter (and I) have druhl over a beautiful white tent, ocean front with crystal chandeliers, and beautiful linens and decorations. Most of the resorts that will let us do it in the georgia -florida area want to charge yikes 300 per plate before anything else is said and done, 15,000 just to set up the tent. She would rather have a small number of people who mean the most to her than cousins aquantances that aren't very close to her. We would love to find someone who has a beautiful house for rent on the beach with an expansive lawn. But either way, how to we explain to people why they aren't invited???? Or do we give up her hopes for a certain kind of wedding and just enjoy all the people, many she hasn't met but maybe once or twice, or never. I am hearing from people I haven't spoken to hardly in years asking when is the wedding??? Really? You haven't called me in 4 years? Family is a sensitive subject but I am a single mom, my husband died 3 years ago and money is beyond tight. How I am going to do this at all is beyond me but I want to give her what she wants???? How do I explain when I was invited to thier childs wedding why I won't be reciprocating?
