    After seeing her friend group this last weekend, my mom asked me to invite them to my wedding next year. I'd love to, but our venue has a 75 guest limit for the price we paid. I told my mom that if she pays $2k for the venue upgrade and their food, that they can come. Because if I invite her friends and their husbands, that's only 10 extra people, and not worth the upgrade imo, which allows 150 guests. My mom is honestly considering it, so we'll see what happens.

    I can't believe how people have just assumed or straight up asked to come to my wedding who I'm not close to at all. It's absolutely ridiculous and annoying. I'm a people pleaser and it's hard for me to be blunt or say no in some instances, it's so frustrating, especially cause I'm wanting a really small wedding. It's so rude.
    Also the timeline is not working, it just shows me a blank page.

    As for the rest of this video, smart to say DON'T state you don't want someone at the wedding!! Practice ONE reason & use it for EVERYONE/ANYONE who you need to let down gently.
    And if family says "you gotta invite", just ask for a $200 contribution to your wedding fund - nonrefundable, of course. (Yes, I know of someone who did this. Great response.)

    I just want to throw something out there in regards to the veil question. I was always told to keep your veil on at least until after the first dance for photos sake. Personally, I wore a cathedral veil for ceremony and photos then changed into a shorter veil for the rest of the night. I understand that might not be in everyone’s budget to purchase two veils (although my cathedral one was $40 off of Facebook 🙊) but I wanted to wear a veil all night. It didn’t bother me at all with the hairstyle I had and I’m really happy I wore it as long as I did because of how I looked in my photos. And I felt like a princess 😆

    Hey Jamie, I need advice.
    I recently got married in June. I was planning for about 1.5 years. I was so stressed months prior and everything that could go wrong did. I still haven't healed from this. Thinking back to the day, their was nothing I could have changed. It really was the people/guests..... my ceremony started at 245 and reception started at 445 and everyone left when the dance floor opened around 630...... majority didn't say goodbye or Hi to me and a lot of people didn't show up to my wedding. They didn't even tell me prior to replace their plate. I am not sure if it was due to me being a wedding videographer and have too high expectations. But, I really wanted to dance more than 3 songs and actually celebrate with my husband and friends.

    • @synnerlove1
      @synnerlove1 Před 2 lety +10

      To start I am so sorry your guests treated your wedding in such a way. Personally, I am a blunt person. I would very much be sending an email, probably with photo attachments of RSVPs, to the people who no called/no show after RSVPing asking for an update on what happened. But that’s just me.
      As for people who left… I do not think any reason will bring you peace. I would ask anyone who did stay if there was something wrong, because whoever stayed truly cared about your feelings and may tell you if something occurred now that it’s over.
      Again, I am so sorry that this happened. I hope you find some healing and congratulations on your marriage!

    Thank you for this! I’ve always wanted a small wedding and people kept telling me I will change my mind. I haven’t changed my mind. I am introverted and shy and I have social anxiety. My boyfriend is wayyy more introverted and shy and antisocial than I am. I think the easiest thing is to have a shower and a second shower, a ceremony, a reception and a second reception. Parents, siblings, grandparents, and best friends at the ceremony and reception and shower and a separate shower and then share my wedding video and rewear my dress and bring desserts and have a small “reception” for my aunts and uncles and cousins. I really don’t want to invite my aunts and uncles and cousins. It gets to be too many people. 12 and 17. And I don’t want kids at all at all at all. I think it’s going to be tough to get people to accept that. I have 6 younger siblings and they all have a plus one and some of them have children, so it would be a zoo. Loud and crazy. No, thank you. I thought weddings were boring as a kid. I don’t want to babysit or hear loud noises and I know my nephew ran off and did his own thing and didn’t want to dress up at my brother’s wedding.

  • @petercdowney

    In 2018, my aunt's stepdaughter got engaged. The wedding was in October 2019.
    Dad and I thought that I'd be invited. But I wasn't, although I didn't know that until about a week before the wedding.
    I didn't handle it well at all - by my own admission, I'm very bad at handling not being invited to weddings; I can say with absolute certainty that the fact that I'm on the autism spectrum has something to do with this. It took me three years to completely come to terms with not having been invited to the wedding, but I eventually got there in October 2022 after hints were dropped that I was of greater significance to my aunt's stepdaughter and her husband than I previously thought.
    And when I did come to terms with it, I was extremely proud of myself for it.

Heck no, I'm not buying extra dinners or even setting out chairs. They can stand somewhere and be an example of what happens when you're either 1. not invited or 2. didn't RSVP.

    Fertility awareness-based family planning is so overlooked. Usually society just pushed hormonal birth control on young women and teach them nothing about their natural fertility cycle because of the idea that it's not relevant until you're actively trying to conceive. But understanding your ovulation cycle is SO CRUCIAL to women's health!! I really wished it was taught to all young women from a young age.

Everyone just assumed that someone else told her. His wife is upset at us for not coming. Try and figure that out. My wife told the woman to talk to her older brother as to why. Added to that, her older brother did not tell his new wife that he had a sister (my wife). My wife has not spoken to her brother in years. No one ever said sorry. I do not have the heart to tell my wife, that her older brother does consider her part of his life.

    What is your advice for dealing with guests that you don't like but will still be there? Whether siblings or spouses or cousins or whatever of either family, there are some people who I know will be there no matter what and I know it will affect how much I can truly enjoy the day.
    For example, there is a particular person I don't want to be there, but they are the spouse of someone I want there, so they will automatically be the plus one. More so, if I tell everyone else they're invited but specifically state I don't want that one person, it would cause nothing but drama of people asking me why, explaining why that's inconsiderate, hurting feelings of people who do like them, etc. And I just do not want to deal with all that before/during/after my wedding.
    Any advice for that?

    What if I'm 5 months pre-wedding and I don't have a lot of the things on your timeline done? Am I screwed? Also, what if my cousin and aunt (said cousin's mother) hate each other and won't come if the other comes?

    My daughter uninvited me to her wedding and just called to have a relationship with me afterwards. It’s too late. What she did is far beyond what I can forgive.

    I have a really difficult situation on my hands, and maybe you and your followers can help (sorry in advance for the long post, but it needs some explanation):
    My partner and I are starting serious wedding planning, to the point where we have a provisional guest list and will be viewing venues in June for our wedding next year.
    The only person I am unsure whether I want to invite is my mother.
    The truth is, I have a terrible (i.e., non-existent) relationship with my mother. She is narcissistic, a binge drinker, and would either make the entire day about her, play "happy families" with me (which'll make me feel really uncomfortable), or I'll spend the entire day worrying about her behaviour or what she's saying to other guests.
    My gran is going to be so mad if I don't invite my mum - she's an enabler for my mother's narcissistic personality, and still believes our relationship can be mended if only I "take responsibility for my actions in the past" (i.e., when I was a teenager, I was angry and upset all the time because my mother was abusive and ruined my reputation, among other horrible things which my mother has twisted to fit her own narrative).
    Not only that, but I feel the weight of "omg the mother of the bride isn't here, why is she not here?" would hang over the entire day if I don't invite her! I'm also concerned about what might happen if I don't invite her, but she finds out where I'm getting married and turns up anyway.
    This catch-22 situation is stressing me out and there are so few resources to help children of narcissistic parents in specific situations like this! So, if any of you have or had a similar family situation, or experience dealing with narcissistic people, please give me some advice on how to handle this situation. Thank you.

    Jamie, you are the best wedding planner in the Internet space and I absolutely love you.
    I have a dilemma, my fionce was a best man at his best friend wedding, I wasn't invited as they said they don't invite plus one (they both know me, we've been often out for drinks with him, with her not that much). The annoying thing is my birthday was the next day as well and my man had to be away.
    Now I'm planning my wedding and I really don't want to invite her, but I invite plus ones. Specially we have our wedding abroad and cover the night for our guests. She is just odd and have nothing in common with her, just sending few days with her around would be...not very comfortable for me. Do I have to invite her? If not what would be the polite way not to?

    • @Saphireaway
      @Saphireaway Před 2 lety +1

      I'm def not Jamie but here's another opinion. That is super tricky because traditionally, married couples automatically count as a "package" deal on invites. Several questions to consider if you haven't already: Would he be offended if she wasn't invited or would they consider it a relief to not have to pay for two people's travel expenses (flights, etc)? Would he be so offended if she weren't invited that he would also decline to come? If so, would your fiance be upset if his friend wont be there?
      If you think it would create tension at all between your relationships, I'd just bite the bullet and invite both. as if you're purchasing the future peace of mind that you did your best to accommodate them, regardless of what happens. It could prevent any hurt feelings or unspoken resentments between the friend and your fiance. As long as there's not a huge additional cost to bring her (other than her dinner at the wedding since they'd be staying in the same hotel room), it might not be a big deal. You may not even see her and have to put up with her weirdness as much as you think you will. You'll be so busy with the big day that everything else will blend into the background.
      My personal advice: invite her. She may not even come, but send the invite. People WILL remember for a LONG time when they DON'T get invited to things, don't get a thank-you card, don't feel appreciated, feel left out, etc. You have a greater chance of inviting her and everything going just dandy than you do not inviting her and it blowing over. My mom always taught me that it's almost always worth it to pay the extra cost/ go the extra mile to include others whose relationship is of any value to you. And since it sounds like your fiancé is really good friends with him, I'd play the extra part and invite her. Which is riskier: Her coming and y'all being annoyed here and there with her presence or her not coming and potentially driving a begrudging wedge between the friendship?
      I know for our wedding, there are multiple family members that I am NOT thrilled about being there. But they're family, so we have to invite them. Buuuttttt I also know that I'm saving myself an earful every. single. holiday. when either they or other family asks why they weren't invited. And I also know that I'm going to be so overwhelmed with other things, that I won't even remember the awkward "hey, thanks for coming, glad you're here" exchange once the big day is all said and done! Don't stress it too much! Best of luck.

    So I didn't know I had to RSVP to a wedding, I was raised in a different country somewhere in South Asia ... and an invitation means an invitation. SO when I got the postcard in the mail I just put it in my calendar and that's it. I thought I would be going to a wedding this weekend, but upon checking with my friend apparently I am not invited since I didn't RSVP. I think the way the wedding is setup in America is kind of dumb. In Asia they would invite half the village and it would be buffet style lol. In america they want to cater the wedding in too specific of a manner, where I believe lies the problem ... it needs to be more lax, like why would RSVPing and then not coming to a wedding for whatever reason be considered such a big deal in a monetary sense.

    Just sat down with my fiancé(and future mother-in-law) to narrow down our guest list(and move some people to a secondary list). She ended up adding people and telling him that the only people that she could see not inviting were his friends. She even threw in a "do 'insert names of 2 groomsmen' even have to come? Why are they even on this list?"
    Her reasoning is because certain family members invite them to everything(though I'm not sure if "them" means the whole family or just his parents... I feel like it's definitely the latter), they should be invited. Then she kept saying "but I don't think this person will come" as if we should just send them an invitation and expect them not to come while also sending EVERYONE else we want to invite an invitation. That doesn't seem very productive or like a very good plan at all to me.
    They are helping pay for alcohol(which we didn't really need because neither of us drink-- she says it's because her family will expect there to be alcohol since they are big social drinkers), but not really much else.
    Not sure where to go from here.

    • @bash9032

      How did it turn out?? I am getting married in 2 months. My fiance and I do not have families that either of us are super close with -- emotionally or physically -- so we were lucky to be able to build our guest list, and then ask for A LITTLE input from family on any aunts/uncles/cousins we may have overlooked. We are also paying for the entire thing ourselves with very little, if any, assistance from anyone for any part of the entire wedding/reception.
      It is YOUR wedding! Just because she is/was paying for alcohol (which is her wish, not yours) does not mean she should dictate the entire guest list. Personally I felt very strongly that I did not want to feel obligated to invite anyone, family or what have you. Our guest list is still larger than I wanted it to be, but under 150 so that feels very manageable to me.

    Wouldnt do the meal after the wedding thing because if money was going to be spent why not spend it on the extra wedding places? Also you would be obliged to buy the couples meal and thats like rubs it in that you wasnt special enough to make the wedding list. The marriage part is the most important. So if in a church most people can just go and watch anyway but when its in ie a hotel you cant so thats a shame. You dont want to go for the food etc its to share the joy of them getting married and that seems to be lost. A nice wedding and picnic in the park would be a way to go!

  • @bustkateers4

    I don’t want to invite my paternal grandmother to my wedding because last time I invited her to a family social gathering for my baby shower, she spread rumors and talked about me behind my back. Little back story: I had to cut my father out of my life about 3-4 years ago because he was being abusive and toxic and would not respect my boundaries. My father lives with my grandma so she hears all his negativity all the time. I just recently started talking with my sisters again a year ago because my father had everyone against me until one of them had the thought to get my side of the story. Anyway, I gave my grandma the benefit of the doubt that she would not start drama because she typically doesn’t do that sort of thing. At my baby shower she said some unnecessary things to a family friend that had no idea the details of why I stopped talking with my father, just that I did. And frankly it wasn’t any of this persons business. My grandma made it her business by talking about it. So this family friend asked me to clarify what my grandma was talking about after my shower and so I had to have a lengthy personal conversation to explain.
    Also when I did have my baby and had a day scheduled with my grandma to come meet her new great granddaughter, I got a text from her saying she would not make it because she feels as if she’s being torn by my dad and I. At this time I hadn’t even spoken with her in regards to how she acted at my shower. I just wanted to put it behind me. But after that message telling me she didn’t want to be in my or my child’s life because she couldn’t separate herself from her son’s own depression, I decided I wouldn’t invite her to my wedding.
    It saves me the trouble of worrying about her running her mouth and saves her the stress of feeling torn. However, my uncle who has been helping me with my wedding just told me that I should at least invite her. If she shows then she shows. If not then that’s her problem and least she would know that she is still welcome. But I have already given her that olive branch when I invited her to my baby shower. Out of all the other stresses of wedding days I don’t want to be worrying about her and the drama she suddenly wants to spew. Family drama man. I thought my mother was bad 😂

    This is amazing and I'm just seeing this is now and I'm new here and something has been bothering me for a minute now and someone i knew for a long time is getting married this year in 2022 and they have their own social media page and they've been posting their upcoming bridal party of what they're planning to do and they've been super excited about it but I'm starting to question things and they had call me before on my phone and spoke to me and told me that I'm invited to their wedding but they didn't even let me know ahead of time that they're having a bridal party and they did not invite me and i totally understand that it's their wedding and that they can do what they want but what do you feel about this situation and also do you think this person really wanted to invite me at all but then they don't invite you to their bridal party and they keep posting videos and pictures of the event of there bridal party and i tried to call them a few times before and no response and that they didn't even answer my phone call and that they didn't let me know about it a head of time and it's all women's bridal party and i feel offended a little bit and that this person is the same people as me and the same nationality as me. So let know what you guys think about it and also does that mean they're still going to invite me to their wedding even though they called me and that they told me that they invite me to there wedding and is this an red flag that I'm not invited anymore to there wedding or maybe I'm sound out of my mind or something and is this a normal feeling and one more thing they just had their bridal party this month on March 14, 2022. @Jamie Wolfer
