NTTCALR: How do you convince...

DH that throwing away invitations (so he doesn't have to deal with the paper), and then calling the people to ask the details (that were on the invitations) is completely rude and self-serving?

DH continues to do this: with a Yankee Swap we did in the Winter, and now with the invitation (and details) about his sister's (my SIL's) rehearsal dinner.  Probably many times before/since that I don't remember.

In both these instances he called his mom to ask all the details (after purposely throwing away the invitations).  WTH?

He thinks I'm an a*s for calling him out on this.

How do I reasonably convince him that it's rude and disrespectful of the other people/person's time to do this?

TIA for any advice.

    I totally understand not wanting papers around. However, I post important thing (invitations, pool hours, etc...) on our bulletin board in the kitchen. Out of the way, no one really sees it but when I need to know when something is, I always know. Maybe you just need a system.

    I do something similar. I will use a magnet to hang them on the refridgerator if it is something coming up soon, but the rest of the stuff goes on our cork board in the office.

    I do the same as the ladies above. If that doesn't work, find a place for you to hide the papers until you need them.

    Yes--we have a system and the invitation (in both mentioned cases) was in that spot, but DH decided he didn't want to bother with the paper, so would inconvenience the invitee by calling to ask the same details, instead.

    I despise paper clutter soooo much.  So, what I do, is copy the details from the invite directly into my calendar that I carry around with me.  You can do the same with a kitchen calendar, planner, etc.  I always put in the address, time, and any other details.

    I keep them on the 'fridge until the event has passed, then I toss them.
