Let June 15 be known as the day that FH and I were invited to a "celebration of marriage" via Facebook invitation. This couple, for whom we made space on our 80-person guest list because we figured we would be invited to their wedding, is getting "real married" in July but having an afterparty in August, for which I received said Facebook notification during my company's summer fete. The drunken consensus view among my coworkers was "ok for a housewarming or barbecue...not so much for a wedding."
The bride is a grad school classmate of FH, so I don't even know them that well. I say, if they're treating this event as they would an event involving football and wings, their wedding gift should be a six-pack or a bottle of rosé.
At least do a Paperless Post. SMH
