...the parents are coming? The future bride just go angry at me and my husband and telling everyone how rude we are and causing her stress because we didn't send in our rsvp card, even though she knows we are coming. I mean come on its our son.
 
lol funny...Unless you live far they shouldn't be upset. I think that even if you did live far I'm pretty sure you wouldn't miss your sons wedding. Wow I hope I don't get that bad.
 
You really should've sent it. even though they know you're coming, they sent u an invite with a rsvp card, which means they expect to receive it back. if you know you're going why wouldn't you send it back?
 
I've never heard of anyone getting that riled over that. I'm getting married about less than a week and the parents of the groom never sent in their RSVP... And I'm totally cool with it.

1. I know they're coming. They told me. They know I know...There is no doubt in my mind.

2. However, I can understand her point of view at least a tiny bit. Being the bride means nearly every decision and project ends up at least partially your responsibility. So, stress is just expected. Maybe brides overreact to simple issues just because of the stress they're feeling. Also, emotions and hormones are possibly running crazy too. If she is working out feminine issues for the wedding night, she could be more emotional than usual as well.

Don't take me wrong. I think she needs to take a deep breath and realize that getting really upset because of something this insignificant is just not worth the energy when there are so many others things that need her attention. Maybe her future hubby could help her realize that she's going a bit overboard and needs to choose her battles. But, it wouldn't hurt to apologize for not making it abundantly clear - just make her feel better. If she feels better, everyone else will be happier in the long run.

Hope this isn't too long and hope it helps.

When all is said and done, they'll be married and happy. That's all that really matters.
 
well I already marked the parents (both sets) as coming even though we did not get the reply card back from 2 sets yet (we have 3 sets kind of) But I mean they are of course coming it is there kids!!
 
I wouldn't be furious but I'd rather you sent a rsvp card, because when I am counting up all the rsvps I don't want to have to sit and think "okay, now how many people just assumed I knew they were coming..." It would be simpler if everyone just sent one regardless.
