Dear Engaged Friends and Family...

I love you dearly, and I'm so very happy that you have found true love and are getting married, but must you all do it during the summer of 2006? Because I now officially have been invited to/know I am being invited to 7 weddings between April 15th and October 8th. And I'm still waiting for FIL to announce his wedding date, which will likely be at some point this summer.

DH and I are going to be moving into a box in order to be able to afford all of your gifts.

I would appreciate your consideration.

Love,

Broke in the Boondocks

Disclaimer: I am totally kidding. But the fact that I am either getting a shower invite, std or wedding invitation in the mail every week is getting a bit out of hand Chat Icon

Re: Dear Engaged Friends and Family...

Yeah - it's getting a bit rediculous...

Before 2004 I had been to 3 weddings... Then it started

Invited to 6 in 2004
4 + mine in 2005
And now 7, possibly 8 if FIL gets married this summer in 2006.

And I already know of 2 for next year Chat Icon

Re: Dear Engaged Friends and Family...

We had/have 8 weddings and 2 Bat Mitzvahs between April 30 and July 15th. Then another wedding this fall and an other Bar Mitzvah as well. Some of those functions are on the same weekend and on the same day.

And people laughed at us for geting married in the winter. At least we made it easy for people to budget. We had no competition for dates with anyone else.

We just got an invitation to an orthodox wedding where the women and men are separated for the ceremony and dancing, and the women are asked to show up in a dress that goes below the knee, high neckline and long sleeves, for a wedding in the middle of the summer.

Where do you even find something like that?

I have a lot of weddings & showers this year too ( not as many as Deb though!) & I am excited to go to them all, but I worry that I am skimping on the gifts a little to be able to afford it all.

A few yrs back I had 6, YES 6 WEDDINGS in one September- every Saturday plus 2 Sundays. Talk about all tapped-out. The worst problem was that at every party it was basically the same crowd sooooooo, no repeat-recycled dresses Chat Icon

I find that weddings come in spurts,sorta like a generation thing. One year its quiet,one year crazy,etc.
