is my fiance invited to the wedding

Madison, on April 6, 2009 at 3:14 PM Posted in Planning 0 4

A good friend of mine just sent me his wedding invite but it was only addressed to me, and not my fiance. The friend knows i'm engaged and has met my fiance in passing a couple of times. Should I RSVP for both of us? Is it rude to ask the friend if they intended to only invite me?

    Definitely do NOT RSVP for both of you. That's one of the biggest pet peeves I've noticed brides complaining about, and it's completely rude...I know I'd be irritated if someone did that for my wedding. I was put in a similar situation a year or so ago, my cousin invited me to his wedding and not my fiance. Actually he sent an invite to my parents and their kids, I didnt receive my own (they had limited space and chose to trim their guest list this way). Depending on how close you are with your friend, I would just call and inquire. I ended up calling my cousin about it and he explained the situation, it sucked, and my FH's feeling were hurt because he had met and liked my cousin, but we understood that it was more important for the couple to have those they were closest to there, rather than random extras. It may be a bummer to go it solo, but be understanding...after all it's their wedding, so it should be about what they want. (Congrats on your engagement, btw!)

    I would take it as no, he's not invited. If your friend knows his name I can't see why he wouldn't put it on the card. And even if he didn't know his name he could have always put "and guest". If it is true that your fiance is not invited, don't take it personally. He might have had to make some really tough choices in the invites list due to money and other issues. Personally, as small as I kept my wedding I would not invite someone without including their fiance. So I guess there is the outside chance that he just didn't address it properly to make it clear who is invited. I do NOT think you should just add him on the RSVP but it would be fine to ask your friend about it before you RSVP. Simply asking about the invite to clarify who's invited is not rude, but adding a guest that wasn't listed would be rude.

    I like the title of this one!! I just had to open it.

    And congrates to you....

    Now....This same thing happened to me, but it was some of my family members that were calling. I sent out STD cards to only the people that I am really close to. And once word got around my whole family was calling me. The last time some of them have talked to me was when I was in high school!! When they called I was really nice about it and just told them that we are on a very tight budget!

    So to be on the safe side I would ask to make sure, because this may be the same case here!!

    Haha I have to agree with the first post..thats what I thought it meant too. Mainly bc my fiance just asked me that (in joking). Anyway that is hard I would just ask so no one gets upset. If I sent out the invite I wouldnt care if the FH came along but I made thge mistake of putting my Fh on a RSVP and they actually called and said umm he wasnt invited lol which is just as rude id say!
