I was just invited to a reception on Facebook...

Wow, thats unreal. A little last minute decision I guess..?

Holy smokes, that is tacky. I would have been OK with everything (including the jeans and the Facebook invite), but the register and cards-sending address, no, just no.

Wow haha

Yikes. Yeah, I don't blame ya for not going or sending anything.

Omg. Just.... Omg.

I wonder if anyone tried to stop them before they sent out those messages. There's probably an embarrassed MOB somewhere hanging her head in shame. Lol

No, the MOB would be all for it. The MOG would be mortified if she knew about it, but i don't think she does yet. Lol

Wow. Just wow lol. What town is this in? Curious just because I'm from the same state

Dang bride. Way to add the the Iowa stereotype that we're all tacky rednecks! lol

Yikes. You really need to wonder about people who do shit like that...

If I were you, I wouldn't be content with simply not showing up. I'd need to stick it to them a little -- I mean, this is really outrageous! You should send one of those glitter bombs to the address they so graciously provided, you know, to keep the celebration going

Definitely send an empty card.

Oh man. Sounds like they are feeling a little broke after the wedding and desperately grasping at anything they can get, lol

They are in Cedar Rapids, AthenaKay. They just added to the invite (below their gift registry/cash grab information) that there will be food, drinks, and music. Yipee! There are currently over 100 people invited. 4 are confirmed. I guess I'm not alone in my feelings.

Haha wow

HOW ARE THERE PEOPLE OUT THERE LIKE THIS?

*facepalm* I can't even.

Every time I think I've seen it all, I realize I haven't. That's like saying, "Hey, you doing anything this weekend? We are. We got married a few months back, and now you can put on your jeans, head over, and celebrate the wedding you weren't invited to. But before you do, be sure to check out our registry so you can buy us the right stuff -- the stuff we want. If you can't make it, send your cash contributions to _______".

There's a correct way to do this. It requires an event that is scheduled shortly after the DW/private ceremony -- not months after, a printed invitation announcing the wedding and formally inviting guests to a celebration of the marriage, an RSVP date, no mention of a registry or cash gifts, and the price of postage. I hope they end up with 5 toasters, two bottle openers, and $15.

Three things and two of them are talking about needing to give them gifts. Ouch. The third is about jeans? I hate people who wear jeans to weddings. So gross.

Agreed. I would not be attending, either. Beyond rude.

I would send a card...an empty card!

Dont go and dont send a gift.... this is like a E list. Either that or they just decided to get married yesterday LOL

Wow, just wow. I agree with what @TheCenterpieceFlowers mentioned: there is a method to having the reception after the wedding, and this couple ain't doing it. 5 days notice *and* dictating gifts and attire is ridiculous!

If it were me, I would probably send an empty card and maybe show up in the most distressed pair of jeans I have (but I'm spiteful like that lol)
