During my daughters wedding I was so amazed at how rude and insensetive family and friends were. I am the father of the bride BTW. My house was full of guest who didn't want to pay for a hotel, I had to answer numerous other emails about names of hotels in the area which I just googled and emailed the sites to them (they could do it themselves) after all I had a million other things to do, they asked for me to find restaurants they may like and on and on. In a very frantic and stressful time for me $$$ I couldn't believe how so many just expected me to do little things for them. I would just tell them that I was in the middle of a wedding right now and wouldn't have time to come up with things for "YOU" to do right now. Several got down right mad that I wouldn't put them up at my all ready FULL house with guest, some of these guest arrived 5 days before the wedding and of course eating free off me.
Just Me????

No its not just you and if i had been in your position the only thing keeping me from kicking them out would have been the fact that it was my childs wedding.My fiancee and i have similar problems ... we're getting married next year.... and we finally decided that if these ppl were going to be rude then they didn't need to be there. I mean if you can't be respectful to ppl who are putting you up so that you don't have to fork out hundreds of dollars for a hotel then you don't need to be there.

I plan on fixing some of those issues with mine. I plan on making a sheet of hotels close to my wedding/reception and state this is the average rate during this time of year for '07, but the rates may raise or lower by '08. I'm also going to send website information on things to do in the area as well.
99% of my guests have internet access. Those who don't know people who do have access so I shouldn't be inundated with emails and phone calls about things to do in the area.
A wedding is a stressful time that's for sure.

Sounds like you are going above and beyond for your daughter's wedding guests. Why not make a list with local hotels/motels w/ telephone numbers and restaurants close by that you recommend. That way when they call, you'll be prepared and not overwhelmed.
Just keep your cool, soon it will be all over with. I'm sure your daughter appreciates all of your help.

You are really going above and beyond for these people. You didn't have to accomedate anyone.
You should just give them the names of local hotels....or you could have found 1 hotel and blocked rooms for your guests and sent out there info for a SAVE THE DATE invite. That way they know they are obligated to pay for there own way.
Good Luck

OH please please please don't say that:) I am having a wedding in August and I really don't like hearing that, mind you I am the one getting married but my poor family. I would have put your foot down and been like look people, it is great you are here, but I am busy and stop eating my food. That is just plain disrespectful and I wouldn't have put up with it.

no, everyone is a pain in the butt. And do they have any idea how rude it is to ask if they are being invited when you have already said it is going to be extremely small?????
