Requesting guest specific gift.

My screen is now covered in tea due to the sputtering that occurred upon reading your post, Lau.
No words.
.
On the other hand, she said that you are still invited, (lucky you!) and that you can "bring what you want".
I'd be tempted to go.
And bring nothing.

Hey Lau,
Went through your price and thought that it was a bit steep? Would this be cheaper if I brought a canvas? Or sent a picture instead of a sitting? Your mother said your traveling? So hoping that you could get it done before you leave Monday.
As it's to celebrate our wedding and it was a gift to ignoramus' mother we were hoping that you could lower the price as a gift to us? I understand that this is how you make your money but it's not really fair to profit off an old friend? If your back, the invitation still stands and I hope you can make it. We assigned your gift to someone else so bring what you want.
Kind regards,
Rude.
OMG I've just thought of the perfect response:
Dear Rude Ignoramus Bridezilla
Funny you should mention it's not fair to profit off an old friend because that's exactly what YOU are trying to do by dictating to guests what presents they should give you and deciding that gifts worth €250 are appropriate. I will not be doing the portrait, you cannot afford my highly esteemed work.
Regards
Lau
PS
Go fck yourself

Perfect response!
On a more serious note, Lau is your travelling going to impede on our hearing how the big day goes? If it is, then I do implore you to reconsider 0 -

Tell them you need to buy special metallic paint to do their brass necks justice! As a gift send a big pot of Brasso!
How dare they say your costs are a bit steep, what would they know about that sort of thing? I'm raging for you, OP.
I've tears down my face at your response Stinkle. Flipping brilliant 0 -

Thought I'd update while I have a minute
Cake guy called them this morning and they asked why the cake would be so small and when they could see a prototype of the finished product. He told them that they only needed that size because loads had declined. And that they could see the cake the day if the wedding. He sent them my love and promptly hung up telling them to email his work email if they had any issues
Got back the reply for my quote earlier today too!

This makes me so angry for you OP. To be honest, I wouldn't reply. I'd just leave it at that. You are never going to win with these people.0 -

On second thoughts. This thread has given us so many jokes, I reckon we should set up a crowd-funding page. Us Boardsies chip in a fiver each and BUY them the fecking mixer! For services to the Entertainment industry you understand...;)
Maybe this mixer would be right up their street
:D

that is just the most outrageous thing I have ever read, "bit steep":eek: "reassigned your gift":eek::eek:.... "so bring what you want":eek::eek::eek:
OP if I were in your position I would be sending a short, curt response to say that the quote was already heavily discounted as gift but that you no longer happy to do the portrait as it clear that they do not appreciate the time or effort that is required.
She may well take flounce off at that but it would be no loss to you.0 -
