Gosh I love them to pieces, but when we got engaged 8 months ago I asked her to include anyone she could think of that wasnt immediate famlly(because of course I know immediate family and they're invited). Now, 3 months away, after pestering her about it for months and not getting it, I got invitations for the people on my list, and she said she needed at LEAST 50(Our limit is 100 people at the wedding) invitations. When I said that 25 should work, as families dont need an invitation for every member of that family, she still insisted she needed more. So I printed some cheap invitations, but shes going to have to buy the envelopes for those ones(the ones I got include those, so she has 25 envelopes). I paid 80 dollars for 50 nice invitations because my budget was 100 dollars, and my fiance included as many people as he could think of on his list and 50 invitations were all we thought we needed. She was supposed to come with us to pick my wedding dress too, we planned it a month and a half ahead of time, but she ended up not coming last minute. She didnt come to the bridal shower either. And shes convinced I told her she could do all the decorations, even though that's the most fun part about the wedding and the one thing I want to he able to do! She was supposed to do the rehearsal dinner but she forgot about that. I dont know how to tactfully tell them if they want to be involved, actually be invested in what's going on.

I'm having my ceremony on the beach at a state park. They have fees for entry. Am I or the guests suppose to pay? I'm having a simple reception at a shelter. Still figuring things out.
