Out of curiousity . . .

I haven't been asked for invitations but I've had people that assume they are invited, telling me how they've never been to cancun and they're going to have a great time there.. I just nodded... By now they should know they're not invited hahahahahaha

I've had a few people ask me - but I think they were saying it in a kind of joking tone. There will be family members "close" friend who I will not be inviting and I expect a bit of flack then. I am only inviting relatives that I acutally like and ones that I have spoken to within the last decade! They sort of have to meet those standards, otherwise I really don't see the point on my or their end. Having said that, I have not been told that they will be "hurt" is I don't invite them.

As a geeky kind of side note, I have actually prepared answers and jokes for when the situation comes up!

OMG!! I gave invites to the 4 guys I work for...only for $$, of course! They make tons of $$ so I figured - they get an invite - they give me $$.

WELL it back fired on me!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG TIME!! One of them and his wife booked their trip a few weeks ago. I was like WTF!?!?!?! Y'all are going?? Wow - that's great....NOT!!!!

I guess that's what I get!

Courtney do share your geeky answers to each situations. I am dying to know what you are going to tell people. LOL.

~Jamy what the hell is wrong with people? I agree with your parents 100%. In all seriousness I make a million jokes on the forum that I am going to crash people's weddings, blah, blah, blah. Clearly everyone knows I am kidding. It's only funny b/c we are forum friends. But I would sooner die than ask someone if I am invited to their wedding. Who the hell does that? That is so rude and tacky. I am embarrassed for your co-worker.

And she had the audacity to tell you that her feelings were hurt? I'm sorry did you just get picked last for dodgeball? What the @#$%? Some people are so socially akward that there is no hope for them. I'm sorry you had to go through that uncomfortable situation.

I have had this happen to me. People can be so rude but I always assume that they don't know any better (although they should). I just explained that it would be a small wedding in Mexico and they pretty much understood. I also had someone that I invited but didn't think they would ever come to come. It was fine though.

No I have not experience this but if I did I would just say NO. End of story…

And all my co-workers “feelings†will be hurt b/c I did not waste the time or money to send them an invite KNOWING they are not coming. I do know co-workers that do this. Fine! It is in their budget to waste invites. I already had to waste invites on family who I KNEW were not coming.

Geesh.... don't people understand that if you wanted them to be AT YOUR WEDDING you would have invited them?

I can't even get people that we did invite to come to our wedding, losers! Thats so rude, why would someone want to invite themselves to something, I would feel so mortified if I said something about being invited and I wasn't!

I didn't invite anyone from work, I would have invited my whole department if we had a wedding at home because I love the guys I work with they're great, but theres no way we could all get time off to go to mexico, nor do I think most of them would be able to make it anyway, but they would never ask me where there invitation is!

This has happened to me several times & I'm kind of relieved that I'm not the only person dealing with this awkward situation. I actually felt embarrassed for these people who clearly have no manners.

I've had at least 4 people ask me where their invitation was or whether they were invited. Another couple just assumed they were invited and started talking about booking a vacation and how much fun they were going to have (umm... WHAT??).

My normal response is laughter & a response like "No. We're really limiting it to immediate family." I don't even mention that some very close friends are coming b/c there's no way that most of these people will ever find out.

I did invite one former coworker who asked (who is a friend, but not super close) b/c he knew we were inviting other friends and, as predicted, he probably won't come anyway. I didn't feel upset about inviting him b/c I do really like him & he's tons of fun. But I'm afraid to take that gamble with someone who might actually spend the $$ to go to Cabo & who I don't want to be around!
