Wedding etiquette?

LuxuriousPinkDecor910, 27 July, 2017 at 00:37 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 3

Hi all,

Just need some advice really! Are you ready?

My partner and I have been together three years. Recently he was sent an invitation for his friends wedding. On the invite, only his name was on it. The bride and I bumped into each other at the supermarket (meeting for first time) and she invited me to the reception. I assumed that I wasn't going to the church but would be joining my partner at the reception thereafter with him and his friends. I spoke with the bride to see what time to attend the reception and I'm actually only invited to the night do. In the evening at 8pm. By the time I get there - my boyfriend and everyone else will be drunk and I will be walking in not knowing almost anyone....I feel that this is rude considering my boyfriend and I have lived together now nearly two years!!i bought a new outfit, camera and booked in at salon!!! I feel ther is no point now! Am I wrong for being a bit annoyed?

Please advise me ☺️

    Yes and no.

    To me a 'couple' should be invited to the same parts however sometimes it is a little prohibitive due to space etc and she needs her friends to be a little extra understanding and just go along with whats needed. HOWEVER throwing your toys a little and saying no point in going is a little childish IMO.

    In all honesty I think it depends on how close you and the bride and groom are. If you're good friends with the bride then yes, it's odd not to be invited. However, if you've barely ever had a conversation with her, you wouldn't text her or call her to see how she is or wouldn't just pop over for a coffee by yourself then it's understandable. Weddings are expensive and she may not have had it in the budget to invite a lot of plus ones, so it might just be good friends and family for the day. Don't forget, it's around £80-£100 to feed and provide alcohol for each guest (sometimes even more!), and it might not just be you that was cut from the guest list. Cut 10 people's partners who you don't really know and that's £1000 saved, which is A LOT of money if you don't have it! And really, it's up to the bride and groom who they have at their special day! Whether you go or not is entirely up to you, but the fact that she's even invited you at all should be an honour, not an expectation.
