Two weddings.... One Day

Ashley, on July 10, 2012 at 3:25 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 22

My Fiances Groomsman and my Sorority sister picked the same date for their weddings. I am really sad and torn. Should we just go to the one who picked their date first or go to each wedding separately?

    I'd go to the one I knew about first...

    Are they the same time? Or near each other? If there is anyway to swing them both...like maybe going to the ceremony of the one that starts earlier and skipping out on the reception and then going to ceremony/reception of the later one.

    If not...I would probably go seperately, if you're equally as close to both of them

    Reading comprehension FTW! Can you split? He goes to the GM's wedding, you go to your sorority sister's wedding? I assume you'll each have friends there, so going solo shouldn't be too big a deal.

    Is your FH going to be a groomsmen in his friends wedding? I would think being a member of the bridal party would outweigh being a guest.

    I would go to the groomsmen's wedding since he is in your wedding.

    I think Reenski has the best approach, he should go to his friends and you should go to your sority sisters'. Having nights out away from each other can be a great thing for relationships. If they are close enough to each other in distance that you would be able to make both, then you can try, but there is no reason to drive yourselves crazy over this.

    I agree with Mags, if the groomsman is important enough to be in your wedding party then his wedding seems like the obvious choice.

    I was invited to two weddings last week and decided to go to the local one instead of the one I had to travel to... more economical, but that's just me.

    If you're really close with both of them I would split up. H and I have had to do that before - one of his friends was married in CO the same day as one of my friends got married in MT, so obviously we couldn't stop by both of them.

    However you slice it, you don't have to commit to anything until RSVP time, unless you're asked to be in the WP. I just wouldn't verbally commit to being at either one yet.

    Yea, I agree with everyone else, try to split up if you are both close with each of them. If you and your FH are close to one more than other than go with that. If you are torn, go with whoever told you personally first, or whoever's invite you get first! It's not going to please everyone, but there is only so much you can do!

    I would def. Try and split up your time between the two if you can.

    One of the couples we invited had that issue..we're closer to the guy , not as close to the girl who had a wedding that day elsewhere, so instead of losing him we get him andshe's going to the other wedding!! Smiley laugh

    I agree with Rachel G. I would split if we are equally close

    I'd go to my sorority sisters and let him go to his groomsman's. If you are still close with her.

    I would try to split it. If not then I would go to the groomsman wedding, since he is in yours.

    I would go to the groomsman. Like one of the PP said... If hes important enough to be in YOUR wedding then you should be at his...
