'Come on guys I know I'm not paying for this but I am expecting a show.'
Tl;dr version - it now says they can give your info away to marketing companies.
Posted on Gawker, but coming over here for this one too:
My MIL wanted to invite 43 people in their IMMEDIATE family (I am not even kidding - it's 43 between brothers/sisters/spouses/nieces/nephews). I politely let her know that almost all of them had never once contacted us since we had been together, and that unless she was paying for them, we weren't inviting them.
I read The Secret. Maybe the biggest waste of time ever. I can't believe she promoted that book for so long. It was just a bunch of pages of complete and total shit.
I usually give them until about 3 days before the event (when I have to go buy food and booze). If they're still a 'maybe', then they're a no, and if I don't have enough food I don't feel bad about it at all. I'm not going to over buy food because people can't be bothered to RSVP. My money and time are valuable.
Not RSVPing is rude and inconsiderate. How long does it really take to click a 'no' button to let someone know that you can't make it?
That is precisely why I do not cook meals for people with special dietary restrictions unless I know my friend with Celiacs is coming. Outside of that, you'll eat what I put on the table or you'll eat before you come.
All of that. Nothing is more angering then figuring out people are bringing dates to a party when they didn't ask if they could bring dates. Holiday party two years ago - I had 5 friends bring dates they didn't tell me about. Yay for you! You're grown up and have a boyfriend/girlfriend! But seriously, that's 5 people…
I think the point is they shouldn't have to track you down via email. We are adults. When someone invites you to a function that you know is going to require a headcount, and sends you a pre-addressed pre-stamped envelope, it's not really that hard to check yes and drop it in the mail. Someone is spending time and…
You are nice. Unless I know one of my friends has a medical allergy to something (like one of my friends actually has celiacs), then I don't plan my menu around anyone. Don't like it? Eat before you come.
No. If you're paying $15K for flowers you better be throwing the god damn Met Gala.
I would have been drunk as fuck.
Your parents are awesome people. The people who did not show up to the wedding are assholes, and probably missed a really good time.
Yeah for stuff like gigs, it's okay to say maybe. Normally because it's not really that big of a deal if you don't show up because no one is paying for you if you don't go. But for house parties? Yeah, that deserves a yes or no answer.
Wait, you put maybe down as an option on your wedding invite? You are very nice. I gave them no such option.
I would have never called any of those people again.
