I have a question: Is it rude to invite someone to your bridal shower but not the wedding? A distant friend of mine is getting married and invited me to the bridal shower and bachelorette party. However, she has made no mention to me about being invited to the actual wedding. My best friend has been invited to the wedding, so she said she would bring me as a plus one. I feel that is extremely rude and gift grabby to invite someone to all the pre wedding events but not the actual wedding. She is having a small ceremony with immediate family then a larger reception that evening.
Also, I asked if she was registered anywhere for the bridal shower and she stated she prefers cash. I thought the general idea of a bridal shower was to open gifts and such. Is this wrong?
