Gift

Rose, on June 14, 2021 at 6:10 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11
So i have a dilemma the bride had accused me of an incident which turned out to be a lie that she had made up and her fiancé apologised, to further i thought everything was fine as we are in a friendship group and she spoke to me after as normal but she still hadn’t apologised and i brushed it off and thought everything was fine. I then find out through other friends she has invited all the girls in our group to her bridal shower but not me, and what made it worse was that on her and the grooms bachelor night they invited the whole group all the boys (including my partner) and girls and i was the only one not invited i found out through the group chat when everyone was posting videos and photos knowing i was in the group chat.(i would of not taken offence if she told me before hand and i would’ve understood especially because i thought all was good) I’m now conflicted because me and my partner were going to gift them together but i now think i should not put in money towards the gift is this okay, they also have asked for money as a gift and I’m considering having my bf just putting his name on the card or by having us just directing the gift at the groom. My partner was not happy as well at the incident as I’m being treated for something i had not done wrong

    Are you a bridesmaid or just part of the friend group? I would not attend the wedding and not give a gift in that instance. It sounds like the bride doesn’t want to be friends anymore.

    I’m only attending and I wouldn’t attend but my partner wants to go as he is close with the groom and he wouldn’t go without me. Also the brides bridesmaid is my cousin and so the bride doesn’t want to say anything as the last time the bride said something my cousin had a go at her

    I'm sorry you have to deal with all of that, its a tough situation. I still wouldn't attend and your boyfriend shouldn't as well unless the bride apologizes. I know he's close with the groom but its not right for his good friends future wife to treat you the way she is. If your boyfriend doesn't want to go alone, thats on him but I sure has heck wouldn't go if someone treated me like that.

    This just sounds like a while big mess, and the problem goes deeper than a wedding gift!
    You deserve better friends. Forget about the gift, don’t go to the wedding, and know you deserve to be around people who don’t make up lies about you.

    Sound like you shouldn't go but if you go to the wedding, you should give a gift. Typically minimums are to cover your meal.

    I probably wouldn't go if the bride purposefully went out of her way to include everyone but me. I'm quite shocked that they invited your partner and not you to the pre-wedding party. If you choose to go with your partner, I would just give a card with well wishes. Even if you don't, same thing.

    I wouldn't go and neither would my partner if I had been treated like that. Has your friendship with the bride, or lack thereof, always been like this? You're in a group chat with a bunch of girls, how is your friendship with them? It seems weirder to me that you only found out about the pre-wedding event through seeing pictures and none of your other "friends" or your partner gave you a heads up about this event... Sounds like you may need new friends and maybe a new partner as well.

    The fact that your partner was invited without you is rude, rude, rude, rude, rude.

    Since your partner had no problem going to the co-ed stag party without you, I don't see why he has an issue going to the wedding without you. And I would tell him exactly that.

    Don't contribute to the gift, and don't go to the wedding. If he can go party without you, he can go to the wedding without you, too.

    I would not go, nor would my husband. Do you have any interest in maintaining a friendship with these people in the future? Why spend all that time and money to attend a wedding of someone you’ll never want to speak to again?

    I don’t care who the person is, if someone treated me or my husband this way, we would not attend the wedding. It doesn’t matter how close your husband is to the groom, he should be mindful of how you are being treated. The bride sounds like she’s being petty and immature, and is showing you how little you mean to her by acting this way. Politely decline and move on. You don’t deserve to be cut out over something you didn’t do. And your partner should support you 100% and stick up for you to his friend.

    Screw the gift and card. Don’t attend the wedding and cut contact with the toxic bride.
