To think there is nothing to be outraged about in this wedding invite

Invitation for a wedding

  • came to just me and DP but follow up note about kids says they haven't invited them because they are limited on numbers, but if that means we can't go then speak to them
  • no gift list in the invite. Website says they really don't want gifts but if we feel we need to do something then vouchers
  • they are asking for dietary requirements, music we'd like to hear and co-ordinations lift shares
  • they have given suggestions for accomodation across a range of prices.

There is nothing for me to be pissed off about or mock! That's not very public spirited of them, is it?

The utter bastards!! Angry

Refuse to go on the grounds you'll have nothing to complain about Grin

FrankieStien · 22/02/2014 14:55

What no poems?

Supercosy · 22/02/2014 14:56

They are being VVVVVU! What a missed opportunity!

mateysmum · 22/02/2014 14:56

That's appalling. They are robbing us of a memorable AIBU I'm sure.

Still, plenty of time for the bride to go bridezilla though.

Ubik1 · 22/02/2014 14:56

Very, very disappointing Sad

FadBook · 22/02/2014 14:56

Perfect! What are you going to wear? White? Grin

WorraLiberty · 22/02/2014 14:56

On second thoughts...

Dietary requirements you say????

That's a PA way of calling you fat Hmm

And suggestions for accomodation across a range of prices...can you not see they're calling you poor???

Cheeky gits!! Angry

FrankieStien · 22/02/2014 14:57

Ooooh but maybe they'll do something incredibly crass and rude on the day? Then we can be both shocked AND outraged.

Finola1step · 22/02/2014 14:58

Feck 'em. Throw a strop about the stamp on the envelope if need be. How dare they be so bloody reasonable?

Do you know what they've done? They have robbed you. Yes, that's right, robbed you. Robbed you of months of moaning on mn, snarky comments, whatever next questions. They have robbed you of a wedding moan thread of your very own the feckers. LTB.

FarelyKnuts · 22/02/2014 15:01

Utter bastards! I'd be outraged at having to ring them to ask if my precious child could come. They should have been sent their own gilded invitation covered in fairy dust delivered by unicorn!!

WorraLiberty · 22/02/2014 15:02

Oh and "and co-ordinations lift shares"

This ^^ means they think you'll be too drunk to walk anywhere and want to bundle you in the back of a waiting car, in case you embarrass them.

Don't say I didn't warn you Hmm

Tweasels · 22/02/2014 15:03

They must come on here and have realised that even asking people to come to your wedding is considered rude so are being extra accommodating with everything else.

If you believe what you read on here then even getting married in the first place makes you entitled. How dare people pay thousands of pounds to feed you, get you pissed, provide entertainment yet point you in the right direction of an appropriate gift. How fucking dare they! Grin

TheWoollybacksWife · 22/02/2014 15:06

I think you need to check if there is a dress code for the wedding. Outfits woven from unicorn hair? Fascinations fashioned from did feathers?

Stag/Hen do? A weekend on the moon, perhaps?

TheWoollybacksWife · 22/02/2014 15:07

Bloody autocorrect. Dodo feathers Grin

sunev · 22/02/2014 15:08

Talk to them, advise on menus and entertainment, arrange your own accommodation? Can't you see what they're up to? They're trying to get you to organise the whole wedding for them FREE!! zNext it'll be "can you just write out 200 name cards" and "can you re-decorate the local community hall". It won't be over till you take flying lessons so you can drop them off at their honeymoon. Honestly, the vheek of some people.

Gossipyfishwife · 22/02/2014 15:08

So they are reasonable, huh?

Then the only thing to do is go to the wedding.........wearing a white dress and a veil!!!!! That'll show em. Utter selfish bastards.

WorraLiberty · 22/02/2014 15:09

Exactly sunev exactly...

Joysmum · 22/02/2014 15:10

How dare they not run it past you what the colour will be. You wouldn't want them to be embarrassed if it clashed with your outfit choice.

Morgause · 22/02/2014 15:11

Is there not even a theme to get cross about?

HermioneWeasley · 22/02/2014 15:12

That's exactly how I feel......utterly robbed.

I will wear a wedding dress. That'll show them.

So what to do?

Naturally you must dress in white

If your kids are well behaved, borrow someone else's and give them all loud computer games to play.

Noisy snacks to keep the kids occupied during the ceremony are a must.

Hum the Simon and Garfunkel song 'Mrs Robinson' all through the ceremony.

Photo bomb their wedding pics.

Pre-order a vegetarian meal and then kick up a fuss at the lack of steak/hog roast.

Interrupt the speeches to make one of your own.

During the bride and groom's first dance, sidle up next to them and do a spot of twerking.

That'll learn the bastards! Angry

crashbangboom · 22/02/2014 15:18

Have we had the same invite I wonder.....

Chesterado · 22/02/2014 15:20

I was just thinking that too crashbangboom!

hamptoncourt · 22/02/2014 15:28

Spots Opportunity to Show Off

I just got one and when I opened it loads of fucking glitter fell out of it all over my newly hovered carpets!
