Wedding invite by text message

MrsPope, on December 5, 2014 at 4:07 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 26

Yep. You read it right. I just got a TEXT message from my birth Father's girlfriend saying "Hope your having a good day, I wanted to invite you and your family to me and your dads wedding at the church next Saturday at 3"

Back story..me and my birth father have never, ever been close. My parents (mom and step dad) have been married 26 years in April. I will be 28 in February so my step dad has always been my Dad and he will be walking me down the aisle.

Needless to say I did not reply to her message and I will not be attending. This is his 5th marriage and I am a little too old for the whole step mom thing. Ugh!

    Oh...my....gosh. That is freaking NUTS! Sorry you have to deal with that bs. Love that your stepfather is your dad though. I think it's so sweet when someone steps up to be a dad like that! Smiley smile

    @Sunshine, I actually got a text thanking me for a WEDDING gift recently! Although she might still send a more formal thank-you ... we'll see.

    So inappropriate. You're right not to attend. However, because you're sweeter than a Georgia peach, feel free to go to the 99 cent store and purchase a congratulatory card.

    Good grief. just about everyone I knew wanted their invites as attached to email or facebook and this raised my eyebrows.

    maybe it was a last minute thing-

    anyway, if it was me, I'd still either attend or send a gift to be the good person about it.

    does seem pretty silly in my book, but everyone does things differently.

    I think she did that for a response, hoping that you don't come. It wasn't a sincere invite, more rubbing your nose in it. Classy not.

    Some people just don't think much do they? So glad you have your stepdad.

    @Kim8815 Lmao!!!!! Good one!!!

    Thanks everyone! I agree it was very low class. I text my half brother (we share the same dad) and he got the same text. He said he's not attending because he will be at work. I mean come on who invites someone to wedding with only 7 days notice? Pathetic! I thank God for my step dad he is amazing!

    @StitchingBride I actually thought of taking off work just to attend. I really don't know how I feel about it. He could have at least "invited" me his self!
