View Full Version : guest lists
Me and my OH made a guest list a while ago and now i have just confused the matter even more. I have added a few more people to the list but im not sure if my OH will agree. I want my friends from work to go and they were only meant to be going to the reception. AAAARRRRHHHH. Im getting stressed and annoyed over the guests lists!!!!
i had trouble doing mine. i think it depends on the numbers and what you can afford really. if its only a few extra people then i wouldnt worry too much about it. when can you speak to ur oh?? maybe just mention it when you talk to him next and see what he says. my guest list changed on a day to day basis, espeically towards the end. just make sure people let you know for definate if they can come or not, there were some that didnt let me know til a few days before and i ended up paying for more people than what turned up. xxx
The next time i can talk to him is at the weekend but he has been on exercise the last 4 days and i dont want to be talking about the wedding all the time because i think it might annoy him and i think he would want to talk about what he has been doing and generally other things apart from the weeding. We havent talked for about 4 days now so it would be just nice to talk to him.
I suppose i will have to talk to him about it at some point and i guess it is better to talk about it sooner or later.
Oh I know how you feel. About everything. I now need to invite people to stop arguements. I dont want them there and cant afford it but dont know what else to do. Oh wont be happy. Then if I invite these 6 I have to invite other family members then all Stuarts have to come. It will turn out being a huge wedding after all. We really cant afford it and I dont know what to do. Sorry kinda ranted there. I just know how you are feeling. I too dont want to blabber on to my oh about it because I think he is sick of it already lol. But it really needs sorted asap. I think all men get sick of it. xx
yeh mine does too, think they're all the same! :p
iv kept my workmates to the evening reception, as iv got quite a lot of normal mates goin to the daytime. ohs list is a bit mixed, but i guess theirs will be as their 'workmates' are more like normal mates arent they - did that make sense?lol! x
Its so annoying having to decide everything, as my OH is away.
I want my 2 friends from work to come as they have been really kind to me and they have been there for me while my OH is away and they have always listened when i have a rant about things and it would be a good way to say thank you for being there for me and they have heard a lot about the wedding it though it would be nice for them to come to it. The only problem is that it is just added more and more people to the guest list. My OH wants some mates to come who are training with him at the moment and i just found out there are 11 who want to come to the wedding but that is too much. I just dont know what to do about that. I mean we can have a few like 3/4 maybe to come to the wedding but if they all come it is just going to be more expencive and we cant afford it. I guess my OH will have to think about who he is really good mates with and who will be able to come to the wedding.
I know its ages before we are meant to be giving final figures to the hotel but i want things to be organised, just because it will be less stress later and i like things to be organised.
Kind of ranted on a bit there! Sorry girls. x
Glad I'm not the only one having issues with their guest list!
My OHs away so we decided who we'd invite on his side before he went so I can send out Save The Date cards with our Christmas cards. I emailed the list to his mum to get everyones addresses and she asked about 10 people who we are inviting to the evening - she thinks we should invite them to the whole day but OH doesn't want to. I'm stuck in the middle as have his mum on the phone every couple of days asking if hes reconsidered as these people have asked her about it.
I'm inviting work friends to the evening - but again there's politics as theres a couple who I don't really want to invite but if I invite everyone else then they'll get offended if I don't invite them!

The thing is you dont want to offend people and you dont want to make choices without your OH. I dont know if that is true with you but it is with me. I dont want people to feel offended because i have/havent invited people and i dont want to say yah you can come or you cant come with out OH opinion.
