This guest list is such a sensitive thing. I stare at forever trying to think of who I can remove and whether I have to invite everyone's sibling just because I invited them. I don't want children there but how do I tell parents I'd rather it be an adult only reception? It's nothing against the children I just need those seats.
Recently I was talking to a friend of mine who went on a cruise with her husband and got married just the two of them barefoot on the beach. That sounds like a fabulous idea. Just us and our daughter barefoot on the beach and coupling our honeymoon with our wedding. What a wonderful idea! We suggested this outwardly and people just said, "Sure that'd be a great idea. We'd take Genevieve overnight for you and you have to try out this cruise line I hear they are the best."
We said, "no, the whole point is we'd be alone, just us."
They responded, "Yeah, just us."
*facepalm* "no JUST us!"
"That's what I said, "Just us"
I gave up on them ever understanding and we instead approached with the impossibility of some of our friends being able to make it to a destination wedding and so if we were having a guest wedding it'd be local. There response was, "that's their problem." It was at this point that the topic was changed.
So it appears I can't win, if I remove the guest list people invite themselves and if I have the guest list I stress over who I need to invite. Is it too late to give this ring back?
