I'm tired of explaining that I don't want to invite people I don't know to my wedding

So I get an email from my dad saying, can you invite this cousin (that I've never heard of!) and can she bring 4 people total?

sorry dad NO.  i'll invite her + 1 if you really want me to, but why would someone have an entouage of 4 ppl.  really!  

i wish I could go back in time and just elope.  BOOOOO.

thanks for letting me whine.  aah.

That is some BS! You are being really nice by offering a plus 1!

Yup.  Only immediate family and close cousins were allowed to bring family.

Everyone else only got a +1.

that sucks!! i would hate having to explain myself on the guest list!! people just dont understand nowadays!

People don't get it!  My mom just asked if she can invite 5 of her friends (i'm sure most of them have husbands too).  whhaaaat.

it's not even about the money anymore.  it's like who ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE at MY wedding. 

that was our issue when MIL gave us her invite list -- it's OUR wedding not hers and sorry I don't want to invite your ex-step-mother. wth is wrong with people!?

Ugh... I hate how family think they can invite whoever... it's your wedding! I've said no to so many people already... it's like an instant reaction now, I say "no" to everything lol.

Them: "Hi Kelli, how are you?"

Me: "NO!"

LOL. Just kidding ;) But seriously though, I gave most people a +1, but if they're friends and single, they didn't get a +1. Hehe... I'm so evil, but no one has complained so far ;)
