Might kill my Fh...

Julie, on August 29, 2019 at 9:07 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

Hey All! So I have a kinda of complicated situation. Our guest list has been done for months. The few extra spaces I have were being saved in case anyone gets into a relationship - obviously want everyone to be able to bring their SO.

SOO my FH just had his bachelor party - yes I know 5 months out is early but he wanted to play golf all weekend and did not want to risk the weather. So I'm looking at pictures and notice a guy there who we had not planned to invite. I'm annoyed FH didn't tell me this but I put this guy and his gf on the list. Then I start thinking what if he did this to others. Turns out, he did. He invited 6 people, all of whom have SOs, to his bachelor party. However, only the one guy went. In his defense, all were on our original list, but he should have checked the final list.

Here is my question, what do you do? I don't want to be rude but I also have our friends list to the bare minimum because we both have huge families (his side is divorces so really there are 3 families in attendance including mine). I am at 199 and out venue cap is 210. While I realize there are people who won't attend, I also am well aware people will show up with uninvited guests.

Any advice would be lovely!

    I wouldn’t stress, to be honest. You’re right to invite the guy who attended, but I don’t think you need to worry about the others. It seems to be that men are far less concerned about the etiquette around pre-wedding events and I doubt any of them would give it a second thought if they didn’t get an invitation to the wedding.

    I went through this with H for his bachelor party. He had a couple guys he invited that were not invited to the wedding. I was so annoyed but he just kept telling me that men didn't care if they were invited to the wedding. It all worked out in the end, he's still friends with the guys who went to the bachelor party and not the wedding. I wouldn't worry too much about it, which I know is easier said than done.

    This happened to my husband. He was invited to a bachelor party that he was not invited to the wedding. Turns out he was the only one who attended the bachelor party that wasn't invited to the wedding. About 2 weeks before this wedding the groom reached out and said they would like us to come. My husband said no. I wasn't really happy with the situation considering how many friends were at this wedding, like over 15 guys + dates. I would never hold it against them because we all have our reasons but it's still not cool. So at least your FH isn't the only guy committing this faux pas. I would consider inviting the friend that attended the bachelor party and not worry about the others who were invited and didn't attend.

    Don't stress over this. Even if people are miffed, they will get over it.
