lol i'm in that place at the moment where i'm wanting to tell people to hurry up and reply... now i still have till the 14th of March till my deadline for rsvp's is up but we made it really easy for them by

- putting in an rsvp card and envelope in with the invitation (all they need to do is fill it in and put a sodding stamp on it)
- we've given them an rsvp email address to send back to if a stamp is too difficult to deal with and they have email
- and we've got rsvp part to our wedding website which we gave them all the details to if they're really internet savy

HOW HARD IS IT TO SODDING REPLY AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i know i'm going to be forced to start hitting people with sticks to get replies and it will mainly be my aunts and uncles i bet you!!!! :mad:

I did EXACTLY the same as you. Some of them are people who i work with and i see them pretty much 5 times a week. Its damn right annoying!!!!

I know how you feel csh. As i said above to gandy most of ours is work collegues and we both work together so thats a good thing unlike you not being able to chase up your partners, although i am sick of asking them now. If they turn up they turn up if not then fine it just pi**es me off esp when were asking every single day pretty much :mad:

i dont know if its bridezilla-y
but obviously we are going to a lot of effort to pull off the wedding of the year with very little money and we are not even sure his family are going to make the effort to come, by family im talking about his mum and dad, plus 4 adult sisters + familys

they all live 300 miles away and last summer we (2 adults, 2 kids) went up there to go to OHs cousins wedding and despite it being 10 minutes away from all the family, none of them went... not one, they werent even busy... they were literally sat at home doing nothing else.
(just so you know theres been no family fueding, no fall outs there was literally NO reason for them not going other than the fact they couldnt be bothered)
so we booked time off work/school etc, paid for a hotel, spent about 6 hours driving up there, attended the wedding etc and as it turns out we didnt even get to the reception as i had the worst food poisoning ever and only just managed to hold it together for the ceremony...

so if they cba to attend a wedding 10 minutes from thier door, are they really going to sort a hotel and come all the way down here for the weekend?
OH is used to this kind of treatment as its a major shock to receive any kind of birthday / christmas card from any of them, they just dont seem to do anything that requires a few moments of effort,
i think i will be more upset than him if they dont come... but whatever they deide they better rsvp as we have people on the reserve list who deserve to be there more than blood relations that dont really care.

Dont even think about stealing ANY of my ideas for your wedding. Because of you, I can't tell my friends some of the things I have planned/planning. You are the kind of person that will hear what I am doing and then do it yourself. I know you are getting married a few weeks after me, but that wont stop you.

Oh and by the way, your man 'aint all that' in fact he is a joke.

And breathe..........

my step dad.

When we said when and where the wedding was he said he wouldn't be able to come as he was out of work and retraining to be a plumber, and was hoping to be doing a Gas course then. Fair enough.

He got a new job last week, back in his old profession, nothing to do with plumbing and has given up on the plumbing. So he's employed, and not on a Gas course. No mention whether or not he's now coming to the wedding so i'm going to assume still no.

I'm not going to let it get to me, because i don't want anyone there that doesn't 100% want to be there, so if he doesn't want to come then that's fine. But i think it's a bit weird!!!

Not bridezilla as such but...
when my little sis/bm asked what flowers i was having an i told her itll be artificial so i can keep them she looked at me as if i had two heads!
i have to throw the bouquet not ask for it back!
when i said i cant see the point in having fresh just for one day to hold an throw away,spending £100 on it or get a fake one for £30 she said i should ask somebody for a replica as a present.
a nice idea on paper but im not asking anyone for anything, i want it all my own way

Ah bubbles, it's your wedding. If you don't want to throw your bouquet don't. Most Scottish weddings don't bother with that - I've only ever been to one wedding where the bride threw her bouquet. I don't intend to throw mine either. Its fake flowers and I want to keep them as a momento.

I've not been very bridezilla lately. I've kind of chilled on the wedding stuff for now. Must try harder.

my only bridezilla moment so far has been my OH's sisters cousin in law is also getting married in april 2012 - i've asked my OH to find out that date as soon as possible and no one can actually tell me the actual date! Our church is booked for the 22nd because was told the cousin in law's wedding would be the early part of April. Now it turns out that the wedding could actually be on the 22nd as well! My OH's brother in law is our best man so this is cutting it fine.... especially since we are viewing our venue tomorrow and are probably going to be putting down a deposit!

So I called sister in law today and asked again! She still can't tell me! Sorry love, but this is your brothers wedding.... not your husbands family - pull your finger out!

It's bad enough she wasn't overly enthused that we were getting married as she didn't want us to get into debt! Errrm our wedding isn't going to be 18k and we won't still be paying it off 10 years later , like yours is love! grrr!

Total bridezilla moment today. I think I've mentioned before that there are a few people with kids under the age of 3 that I want to invite, but I'd decided (it being my !!!!in wedding and all...), to only invite the children that I actually see - so my junior bridesmaids (13, 11), their brother (2) and my niece (2). That would be 4 which is manageable. Today my mum was asking if I'm inviting my cousin's son to the evening reception and didn't seem to understand that if I invited him, I'd have to invite all the other cousins' kids, putting the children tally to 10.

Now, I quite like kids and so does H2B, but I do not want 10 of them at my wedding, because, none of them are mine, it'll be all about the kids, everyone will leave early to put their kids to bed, the parents wont be able to enjoy themselves, I'll have to bump up the numbers to include kids meals, that it's an event with drinking and ceilidh dancing and I don't want any of them to get crushed, and lastly and most importantly, having just found out that I might not ever be able to have children, perhaps I want my wedding day to pass without reminders of what I can't have and am denying my H2B by marrying him.

Does my mother understand this? No? "But what will Cousin X do about childcare?" Answer: I don't care. It's not my child.

Arrrgh. Just...leave me alone. I don't want them there!!!

And breathe....
