Here's my issue...
We have invited 135 people and addressed the invitations to the couples only. (Minus 3 instances where the kids are in the bridal party we put "and family." The other two children we want there are first cousins as my uncle got started late in life.)
I have been getting back RSVPs for second cousins that say they're bringing their families. In one case, I have met the kids once and it was over 5 years ago. In one case, the RSVP didn't even state the names or number, just "X and family."
How many people here have just sucked it up and paid for these uninvited kids and how many have contacted these people to tell them no? I realize every situation is different. The second cousin I am speaking of in particular I grew up with and her parents are coming as well. Her mother is like the sister my mom never had.
So WW, what have you done? (I should have put x number of seats reserved in your honor - I'm beating myself over the head for this
