Yes, you are being overly sensitive to a non-issue.

Another reason why I don't do weddings including my own. We eloped. People always find something to be upset about. LOL.

There is NO reason why each invitee should expect to bring a Guest. A person whose food and refreshments must be paid for. Silly expectation IMO.

Yes, just forget about it, and enjoy the wedding! I'm guessing that your daughter will enjoy it, too, and just maybe she will meet a few new friends or reunite with a few distant cousins. Time to share your cheerful presence with the Bride and Groom, wishing them well and a nice life together.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Tacky. The bride-to-be could have asked the op for thier dd address. She also saved on stamps, invitations, and not having an unwanted costly guest. I would not go alone. Only like if a group of friends/coworkers and they knew they were invited as singles.

Invite a guest, have them pre-pay their meal in their rsvp.

An easy way to save money IMO is to eliminate the Save-a-Dates! People will either come or not and your best friends and relatives already know about the date way ahead of time without those save-a-dates.

I wonder if the save the date thing is so guests won't plan another event on that date.
It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Overly sensitive, you are all family, you are all invited.
