Gypsy just wanted to say that is really sweet of John! Maybe y''all could even turn it into a joint bachelor/bachelorette bash? If not, then it''s still awesome he''s going to plan it for you!

Aw Gypsy, that is so sweet of John. You know a lot of showers the men attend. My niece had a combo one, where the men came too. This was 3 years ago, everyone had a grand old time.

Keep us posted on your phone call tomorrow ok???

Urgh, my sympathies. One of DH''s aunts even ended up bringing her 20-year-old daughter even if we told her repeatedly she could not bring her 4 children.

We had a couple that crashed, but they had gone to the wrong wedding!
DH and I were getting pics after the ceremony in front of the venue and this cute couple sort of tiptoed by from the ceremony area. DH and I looked at each other and shrugged knowing that we didn''t know them, then the lady called to us "so, this isn''t the Confederate Memorial Hall!" And I said "Nope, hope you enjoyed the wedding!" DH and her man just laughed.

Funny because we didn''t have to feed them, but under close examination, there is a picture of them on DH''s side, in a group shot, just staring at the program. I wonder when they figured it out...
 
I called and left the message. Just as nicely as I could mentioned that I needed the names that correspond to the entree choices for the caterer-- and that the mom could just pass that information on to me or my mother at the shower this weekend, and that I''m sorry if there was a misunderstanding but the invitiation was only extended to the parents , as we did not invite the younger generation of any of the cousins. That it was a difficult decision and we hope they understand, and we look forward to seeing the kids at another time.

I didn''t leave our phone number (they can get a hold of it, but I doubt they have it readily available) and hopefully will not be getting a call back.

Swimmer, that''s hilarious. Can you imagine them explaning that to the B&G whose wedding they were SUPPOSED to attend?

Anchor-- Ugh. That''s just rude.
 
Good Gypsy, I am glad you left a message. I hope they have the decency to follow your wishes now. You don''t need any more stress.

LOL Linda, we''ll see. Some people have extreme entitlement issues and get personally offended at things like this, so I''m ready for that to (unfortunately) happen. Though of course, I hope it won''t.

Hi Sarah, He is very sweet. I don''t know about a joint night out as his is scheduled for Friday and mine for Saturday. And they are going to a sports bar and we''re well... not. LOL. But we''ll see what he come up with.

I wouldn''t mind a Jack and Jill shower, but all the ladies will be persian, speaking Farsi and it will be DEATHLY dull for him. So I told him he should stay home when he offered.
 
OMG, if they get offended

to them. HA!!!!!

I am continually amazed at how people seem to not realize that each person who comes to a wedding needs to be PAID FOR by the bride and groom, and that you can''t just add people in like it''s a freaking family barbecue!! Grrrr....

Good for you for sticking to your guns, lady. It''s YOUR day, not theirs.

Freaking LOVE the "family BBQ" line, man. That''s such a perfect descriptor!!! LOLOL!

Gypsy, man....(HUG)...you''ve been working SO HARD on your wedding, and you''re a really gracious bride because from every one of your planning posts it''s pretty obvious that your main concern is that your guests have a great time...I''m so sorry some of them aren''t following your (very classy) example! Bummer!

I warned the (awesome) coordinator at my venue that I may have a few guests who''ll try to do this, and she promised to take up the mantle. Somehow, people are more...er...civilized? Shall we say? When it''s the venue calling and citing something like a fire code violation. Coordinator has had luck with that story, and she says once someone who isn''t the bride calls, it takes the "sting" out and makes it feel less "personal"

Good luck, though. It will work out, you deserve to have it work out!!!!

I think there''s a concept of a start up in this thread.



Wedding Busters, Inc.





You email the names and phones numbers of the people you need ''disinvited'' and the Wedding Busters do it all for you

Note: for an additional charge they will stand at the door to the venue with a list and a stun gun.

I''ll TOTALLY volunteer for this! Especially if I get a stun gun.
 
Agh, people adding on ANYONE is irritating. Good for you for being firm.
