FHs usher was in a relationship up until quite recently. His previous partner was very much invited to our wedding.
When they split up and she said she wasn’t coming anymore we were able to invite some family children that we were feeling guilty about not inviting the first time (circumstances changed and we ended up having to invite certain children so it was looking bad that we hadn’t invited these kids and was good to be able to rectify it).
Usher has, as of this weekend, got a new girlfriend. He keeps complaining that he “had his plus one revoked” although I have explained to him that his ex was not a +1, she was an invited guest. He is doing it in a jokey way but I kind of get the feeling he is annoyed?
Reason’s she isn’t invited
- - We are at the maximum recommended capacity (+ a baby).
- - We have given final numbers to caterers and are just waiting for them to draw up an invoice.
- - I’ve already done the seating plan and ordered a printed copy.
- - Nobody has met her.
- - I have had to decline another friend’s request to bring a new partner whom he has been with for about 5 months because of space and the fact I already allocated any spare spaces due to other changes in the guest list
- - The wedding is in a matter of weeks!
I like to try and be accommodating and have invited all couples in established relationships but surely this isn’t unreasonable, is it?
