Y'all this just keeps getting better. She sent a new text that the folks who were bringing their kids are making sitter arrangements and taking the total invitee list down.

Dear Lord Baby Jesus. Keep Me Near the Cross.

Be strong. Be strong.

OOO! Get her a spatula or measuring spoons.

Cheap and random.

I was thinking one pillow case.

[StrawberryBlondie]

I'd like to know how she thought this would work. She'd call you up an hour before the wedding to tell you if you can come?

[josieposy]

Good grief! Can you tell her to take your phone number off her phone too? What a gross thing to do!

My standard at home attire is comfy pants, sweatshirt and fuzzy socks. I doubt I would change to go when I got the all clear

My cousin basically changed into that for my wedding reception. Well, it was shorts, a hoodie, and sneakers...

I remember when we got married a rash of people were doing "ceremony only" or "reception only" invites. I thought that was tacky, but this takes the cake.

If your sister pulls this you better post it on here as well.

I know right? This train left the station way back when she sent a TEXT asking folks to be standby guests.

I keep wondering what kind of person has the balls to conduct her wedding over text.

There was a ceremony only wedding in my family. The ceremony only people didn't find this out until after the wedding was over when the special few went to the reception. Many ceremony only folks were family members, and they are STILL mad.

If this is actually a thing, I totally see nugget sister doing this. LOL.

Although, maybe she will just put "suggest wedding gift cash amount' on her invites to "cover the costs"

What would be the tackiest wedding gift? That is exactly what you should give to her. Plates from goodwill? Used hand towels? An open bottle of wine? SOMETHING.

cheap towels from the dollar store. Leave the $1 price tag on them "accidentally". Only buy two or three of them. Done.

[iammalcolmx]

THIS is the tackiest gift ever I got at a nestie White elephant. NitaX say the word and I will send it to you to give as a wedding gift:

I just responded with:

"Actually, don't worry about us. We'll make it easy for you. You can take us off the list."

She responded with "Are you sure, I don't want anyone upset with us."

HEIFER YOU JUST ASKED TO PUT PEOPLE ON STANDBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually have in my possession the WORST WEDDING GIFT EVER. BAMFMrsB  shall I sent NitaX " The Hands" to give as a gift?

OMG. Send them!!! SEND. HER. THE. HANDS.

Best gift ever. It's tacky, weird, and impossible to pass on to others once it's been seen by one and all.

LOL to this whole thread. so much awesomeness.

And I cannot believe people send texts like this. that's insane.

I once went to a wedding that checked guests into their seating arrangement by those who RSVP'ed but this is a whole new tacky.

What?! The bride actually punished her guests?

[DirtySouth]

LOL. I would just respond and tell her to change your RSVP to no. Then definitely don't get a gift.

I was once at a wedding for my cousin where the groom asked everyone over the mic to "keep their [plastic] forks at their places to use later for cake." 

Oh and don't get me started on the local, acapella country music singer during the ceremony... 

[pamela]

Nope, no gift.

I used to be a wedding planner (two year stint in bride hell!) and the brides I had who tried to pull that shit got a very stern lecture and major shade thrown their way.

Wait - are you saying this is a thing? A thing??

Yep. It's called "A list, B list, C list."  It's shitty and Emily Post dies all over again every time a bride pulls this nonsense.

[pt716]

I be offended by this but DH wouldn't at all. He has been B listed before and it didn't bother him at all, so there are some people out there that would be fine being "standby."

I've heard of the A list, B list, and C list, but I thought the idea was that you wait until you get "nos" from A list folks and then move to the B list without telling the B list folks that they are on the B list. If you do it right, no one knows they didn't make the first cut, as opposed to inviting folks and then asking permission to demote them, which is just some ratchety ratchetness.

[Deleted]

But - is this really an A list / B list thing if @nitax was already invited AND ALREADY RSVP'D?!!!

Exactly. I feel like this is a whole new level of bald-faced shitty-ness. I USED to value you, but now? Not so much.

ETA: I didn't realize how much I love tacky wedding stories. I hope this thread goes another 100 posts with anecdotes.
