Okay what do you do if a distant relative that is invited to your wedding, decides to invite her other grown children and their whole families?
Here's the story. I sent an invite to a close family friend a did put on the invite "The Smith Family" and sent it to their home address. They have two children living at home with them, so I naturally assumed that those two children are invited. Therefore, when I get the RSVP, after the cutoff date, mind you, she puts down that they are coming and there will be 8 (yes 8) in their party. I was like 'Whoa Nelly'. John was like WTF??? It turns out that the Smith's assumed that we naturally meant their whole friggin family.
If I had wanted to include her other son(s) and their families, I would have sent them an invite to their home yes?
Thoughts?
I delicately told her that since I didn't have her RSVP, but had verbally told me she was coming, I had put her down for 4 as a yes. I apologized for the confusion and hoped that she would understand.
What would you have done?
