Just don’t invite Forrest. That is what we did.

wedding planning is the worst. be prepared to be the subject of everyone’s anger- before i planned a wedding, i was totally unaware that napkins could inspire so much rage in so many people.

I am so glad I’m on WW’s side of the family. My invite will not be revoked. But I apologize for our family being so large with so many people we don’t actually like that much. I say invite them all late and cross out the rsvp date on the invite. can’t say it hasn’t been done before…

My parents are the ones you and WW will be having shots of tequila with. Can you say the same for “? Wolpert” (a direct copy and paste from the preliminary list)?

errr….uh….

My list is longer now. For real. This would be a lot easier, Thunder, if your parents were jerks.

thunder’s advice is second only to her excellent taste in tequila. i’d put my listenin’ ears on when she’s around.

I am not trying to start anything, but from my view of the rough draft guest list it looked like WW had a lot more names on there than you did. When you start the official cuts just remember one thing, the guest list should be filled with people that you eventually want to do tequila shots with at the end of the night and not people that you have to ask the question “how do you know them?”

My work colleague, Tom, is a very close friend. When I got engaged, I used to vent to him about the ever-sprawling size of our guest list. One day, unprompted, Tom said: “You don’t have to invite me. Or my family. It’s my present to you.”

This kind of exchange might have meant something different and awful if we were both women. But between two dudes, it is the most thoughtful wedding present ever. It did not mean that he didn’t want to attend or share the moment with us or witness our joy and bliss. It simply meant… he understood.

So. My friend. Achtung. If you’re feeling pinched, you do not have to invite me. That is my present to you. It does not mean that I wouldn’t want to be there.

It means, from one groom to another, that I understand.

Don’t worry man. The second one is much easier, and the third one is a flat out breeze.

Tell WW there are better times ahead!
