Wedding invite

Miranda, on January 19, 2020 at 9:07 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
So we are doing a very laid back wedding. We are taking our family on vacation to myrtle beach and are getting married while we are there.

We have invited our parents, siblings, and the set of grandparents we are both close to. So I am not doing any type of invitations because they all know when we leave as a group and when we return.
With that being said my parents still want me to invite my dads mom and step dad because they would come. Me and my grandmother do not get a long at all. I've always been the least favorite because I'm like my dad and dont take her crap and I dont keep my mouth shut when she says something about me or my siblings. But since I have to invite her, and i can't stand talking to her in person is it okay to text her. The rest of the family has been informed on Facebook that we decided not to have an in town wedding. And it was made known on there if they'd like to attend to message me and I would inform then on day and time so they could travel to it but she has me blocked so she knows nothing. I've tried to get my mom to tell her but she won't she says I need to tell her but I really really can't stand this lady. And I'm not going to pay for invitations to send out just so she knows when it is. Help please!

    Why do you have to invite her? Unless your mom is paying, she has absolutely no say in the guest list.

    If you and your future spouse are paying, you don't have to invite anyone you don't want to! Smiley smile

    If that is true that I dont invite who I dont want to. That would mean the whole you have to invite someones SO is not true then correct? Because if I'm paying and I dont want them there they aren't to be invited right?

    These are slightly different. A couple is a social unit. It is rude to exclude 1 half of the unit. However, with your particular issue with grandma, especially given your very small guest list, if you can't stand talking to her on the phone long enough to invite her, how are you going to stomach her during the wedding?

    But that makes no sense neither me nor my FH can stand either his brothers gf nor his sisters bf but I'm suppose to stomach them on my wedding day? I've honestly never hated a person more then his brothers gf but I'm suppose to invite her because shes dating his brother?

    I think you need to put your big girl pants on and reach out to your grandmother. I have relatives who can be particularly narky (literally every single time we see them we gear up for whatever rude or obnoxious thing they'll say) but it doesn't make them awful people...granted I do wonder why your grandmother has you blocked in the first place.

    Weddings are milestone events and despite not having the best relationship with her, I think she would be hurt if she was excluded. She might not even choose to go but that is a decision for her to make. Considering how casual it is, I'm sure even a text will suffice - you can put it on her to reach out to you for more information if she wants is.

    As to your siblings' partners - I think you also need to suck it up. You might not like your fiance's siblings' sisters but you can't crucify them for who they're with. If they've personally wronged you in an unforgiveable way, sure, but hey, for all you know, they could end up marrying into the family.
