Ceremony but not wedding breakfast

Kelly, 30 January, 2025 at 14:23 Posted on Planning 1 1
Hi all,
Congratulations on your upcoming weddings 🎉

So I have a friend I’ve known for around 20years, for the last few we’re not as close as we used to be but nothing bad happened. Anyway she has an autistic child who doesn’t like eating in front of others, which is fine neither do my two autistic children so in the venue there’s a separate snug we’ve said is for the kids if they want some quiet time and they can also eat in there instead of with everyone. She also has said she probably won’t eat the wedding breakfast meal either (she is fussy) because she’s gets full and can’t eat & drink at the same time as she gets bloated, so I offered to ask the venue if she can have small plates/alternatives instead.So as I need to know for numbers/table plans I said ‘well shall I just put you for the evening instead then’ and she said ‘but I don’t want to miss the ceremony, I could come to that then leave and come back for the evening reception or just come to the evening’ so I said let me know in a few days.Whilst I totally understand about her daughter as mine are the same and I’ve accommodated for that I can’t help feeling pissed off with her, she’s supposed to be a friend who wants to be there and would make the effort regardless. Am I wrong to be abit annoyed by this? I feel like I don’t care wether she’s there or not at the moment Smiley sad

    I think she's probably trying to be helpful - she'll know how expensive wedding catering can be, and she won't want you paying out for a space for her if she's not going to be eating much - especially if that might mean that you have to leave someone else off the invite list. If she only feels able to come for the ceremony and evening do, then I would just accept that.
