Not Invited - Page 3

Hmmm.... I'd feel weird about not being invited too.

How often do you speak to your friend?

Are there other friends in your circle or of a smimlar relationship that are going?

Does your friend talk about the wedding to you? Then maybe you could sort of tactfully inquire if it's a small wedding, etc. Good luck.

I'd be so relieved and grateful to not have to go to it! I would still happily send a gift.

Who is paying for the wedding? If the couple is paying the bill they are not required to invite anyone but the guests they want. If the parents are paying they certainly have some say in who is invited but attendance may be limited due to costs and the parent's guest list might have been very limited.

Make sure you are signed in. Then find a forum topic your post will belong in. Then you will see the words NEW Topic. Select that and you are on your way.

How big is the wedding? Could be total cost and only family was invited. Or the bride and groom had control over the list and not your friend. Or it could have been a mistake. I don't imagine even I would have the guts to ask, why. Only way you will ever know.

It's understandable to be disappointed but on the other hand think of the money saved

gifts
dress for you
hair done etc
suit for spouse

And no gift for bride and groom as you were not invited

I would also not ask why you were not asked just move on

Lord I must be out of step with the world. I can't imagine thinking just because I was friends with someone I would be invited to their child's wedding UNLESS I had been a very very close fried of the child's as well and part of their everyday life--like always bought them birthday gifts, been to their little kiddie things, birthday parties, holidays with the child and such.

Thank you for all your replies. As far as I know , my friend mentioned the bride to be had more guests , due to the size of her family and my friend mentioned that her side of the family is small. There are 5 of us that get together on birthdays, dinners, lunch, day trips and I even went on vacation with my friend who is the mother of the groom. I found out that one of the 5 friends did get invited, due to the fact her husband is a friend also of the groom. I'll get over it, and I won't let this ruin my relationship with my friend, but I did tend to put up a tiny wall around our friendship, for now. I had another friend whose daughter got married and that friend paid for a few close friends place settings, she wanted us there. Thanks again for your replies

Lately, several of my good friends, who had sons, had their friends cut from the wedding list because when cuts are necessary, the grooms side list is the first to go!! Sad, but often true.
