Wedding Blog

Weddingbee, don’t hate me. We caved. Yes, we are ashamed, and no we’re not happy about it, but we are inviting the unwanted. Of course, this good deed will be rewarded with favors. Not like, you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours, but more like “What kind of favors do you want and give us the boxes, we’ll get them.”

Mr. Kiwi and I are trading the favor of inviting despised in-laws for purchase of our favors. Along with this plan, we have these wonderful conditions:

1.) We have full reign to seat them wherever there’s room. If the only spots left are at the kid’s table, they’re being seated there. By the speakers? Perhaps. In the very back corner? Maybe.  Seated with the “mutants at table nine”? So be it.

2.) If they antagonize my MOH or any of our family members, they will be asked to leave. Either by me or one of Mr. Kiwi’s huge football players who will be attending.

3.) I will not make any special arrangements for them. Yes, she’s a vegetarian, and she will get the same veggie meal everyone else gets. No special treatment.

4.) Any comments after the wedding will not be tolerated. If I hear of anything slightly snarky coming out of their mouths (or the mouth of her mother who asked if the couple was invited), I will have to say something.

My future mother in law (and the one who begged us to invite them for the sanity of the family) has agreed to our terms and after explaining that certain people we actually wanted were being dropped from the list for this couple, heartily agreed.

We’ll see what happens when we get their RSVP back. Lord help them if they don’t RSVP.
