Follow Up to Rules to Invite Guests By

As I published the list of people I shouldn't invite, I also thought of things that might come up in the event that I did invite you and if you are hemming and hawing about whether or not you should make an appearance.

1. You probably shouldn't come to the wedding if you think that I could do better or that My Fiance could do better.
2. You probably shouldn't come to the wedding if you think that you should be with either one of us
3. You probably shouldn't come to the wedding if you are in a foul mood and just want to get plowed (in more ways than one)
4. You probably shouldn't come to the wedding if you just want to make fun of the things we chose to do for our special day


That was a short list, but I am going to add a tangent also to this.

1. You probably shouldn't come as the +1 to any of our guests if any of the items above make you want to go
2. You probably shouldn't come as the +1 to any of our guests if you are an ex and just cant get over it
3. You probably shouldn't come as the +1 to any of our guests if you are unable to hold your booze and insist on grinding with any mother, father, aunt, uncle, cousin, sister, brother, basically any family members that will be joining us for the night.

These might just seem like common sense to most; but in reality, common sense is not that common!!!

The Pain of Making a Wedding Guest List

This is actually stolen from a family friend Laura Nelli. She is the creativity behind Nelle handbags and Harold Handbags. She basically confirmed what i needed to hear when making a wedding guest list. Most of the words ring true, with a few minor touches from me. They are all in brackets. I know. how APA of me. Im not adding the quotes though!

Thanks Laura

and Everyone, Check out Nelle Handbags and the new Harold Line!

Truth. I love making lists, it’s literally one of my top 10 favorite things to do. So you might imagine the enjoyment that I have taken in creating our wedding guest list. [Trying to get all the family friends my parents want in there, with my and my fiance's eclectic crew is not an easy task] I have [borrowed] a list of criteria, or perhaps even a set of rules to live by [from the wonderful Laura Nelli, soon to be Mrs. High], at least when determining who to invite to one of the happiest and most emotional days of our life.
1. [I am asian. We roll 25 deep at all times. We are going to have a big wedding, but that doesn't necessarily mean I am inviting everyone off the street.
2. If I have never been invited to your home, you probably shouldn’t be invited to the wedding.
3. If you have never met my fiance’, you probably shouldn’t be invited to the wedding.
4. If I have to put on make up when meeting you for drinks, you probably shouldn’t be invited to the wedding.
5. If I wouldn’t call or text you at [an indecent hour] of the night, you probably shouldn’t be invited to the wedding.
6. If we haven’t spoken since that last keg party in college, you probably shouldn’t be invited to the wedding.
7. If we are Facebook Friends and [you only knew it was my birthday because FB reminded you, you probably shouldn't be invited to the wedding].
8. If my number is not in your cell phone vice/versa, you probably shouldn’t be invited to the wedding.
9. [If i think of you and feel panic stricken, then you probably shouldn't be invited to the wedding].
10. Remember there is an exception to every rule.

I think this is a pretty good set of rules that will provide clarity as we move forward in finalizing our guest list.

I Think that this is a great set of rules borrowed from Laura to make my guest list. Its hard enough to juggle work, school, nannying, and wedding planning to have to be set off by everything. This puts my mind at ease and I think I will be able to move forward and finalize the guest list shortly.

However if you feel offended at this list, then please contact me; but know that you probably shouldn't be invited to the wedding then because you just don't get me.

I am not sure why people have so much trouble following directions. As a child, I had problems with direction but as I grew older, I learned to read the directions and follow them. If I had a reason to ask for a change in direction, I went to the appropriate people.

Some people just like to do everything their own way. When you are new to a corporation, you should probably follow directions. If you have a suggestion on how to make something more efficient, it would probably be wise to talk and suggest the change to management rather than going about your way and changing it all and then having management find out.

I guess some people never learn.

Starting a blog

I am starting a blog. I am not sure for what reason yet. Though I am loud and can talk to a perfect stranger, I am pretty reserved in what I like to share with people. I think that I am mostly doing this to document my new life as a soon to be Mrs! Yes that's right folks, I am getting married to my wonderful fiancé Kevin. He is amazing and wonderful and everything I wanted and hoped for in a partner to share my life with.

I think I am also doing this to catalog the craziness that is wedding planning. I have been engaged for less than a month and I am already ready to call it quits and elope! I know that is out of the question, but its always a good idea :P
