I simply put "Adult Reception to be held blah blah blah" on the Reception card. Of course, with my sick sense of humor, I also let it drop that the Best Man had several rolls of duct tape for taping screaming little mouths and that, now that he's out of jail, he's been looking forward to actually taping a child to the wall, several inches up the wall. It worked like a charm!

She then proceeds to list the only people she will sit with & if I can't accomodate her, then she can't come & give us our "very expensive" gift. I'm tempted to tell this woman to go f**k herself b/c I'm fast reaching my breaking point of patience w/his side of the family.

Of course you're near the breaking point!! By THE day, you will be capable of staple gunning anyone who gets in your way! (They're on sale at Ace Hardware, btw) The "happy bride" bit is a myth that only becomes reality when you hit the aisle, realize that this is the last walk as a single woman, and become completely radient at the thought of being The Star.
As for this woman, maybe you should ask her to give you a list of who she possibly
could sit next to, and each time she mentions a name, tell her that the person she just mentioned has asked not to be seated with her. Or, the nicer way would be to say, "But I was trying to liven up that otherwise dull table!" or "Everyone else at that table has asked to be near
her." Maybe she'll fall for it.

Then his mom is pushing & pushing & pushing for us to have a guest book & someone to watch the gifts & wouldn't it be nice if we ask these 2 particular women in her family? If I had wanted them in the wedding, I would have asked them months ago & not 2 weeks before the big day. Jeez. What is wrong with people?

Do people bring gifts to weddings in your area? If so, having two women watch for potential thieves is better than having to hire a rent-a-cop. Just make sure they each have a roll of duct tape.
