Help, Wedding Guest List
DATE: 03/24/2007 01:53:17 / MOOD: confused
I want my wedding to be a beautiful, fun and stress-free day. I have a huge family, my birth family, both my mother & father side, and my adoptive family. Most of whom are very undependable, I have invited them to many family gatherings, birthday parties, and my baby shower, and each time they are no-shows. They didn’t visit me in the hospital when I gave birth to my kids, and didn’t see my kids for at least the first few months of their lives. Now that I’m getting married everybody wants an invite, and I hadn’t initially added them to my list, so now our guest list has expanded, and of course now that means we have to pay more. I love my family, each one of them in a very special way, no matter how they disappoint me, but since it is so many of us, I’m not able to invite everyone I know and love. I don’t want to be stressing on who’s coming and who’s not, so I decided that if they really want to come, I’ll charge them like a deposit fee, only for the people that wasn’t originally on my guest list (because they are undependable). If they show up, their money gets returned, if they don’t they lose their money. That way I will not lose out if they R.S.V.P and still don’t show up. What do you guys think, should I charge the deposit fee? How should I mention it to my guests? (Only the guests who I know are very undependable)
