Would you go to a wedding if you got invited 2 weeks before the wedding date because you were Blist

AnnaKay, on May 21, 2016 at 11:11 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 57

Hey ladies so one of my old college roommates invited me to her wedding today at her bridal shower. Come to find out I was B Iisted which is why I never got an invite. What would you do?

    So you were invited to the bridal shower without being invited to the wedding? That's gross to begin with, and then to get a verbal invite to the wedding two weeks out...nope. I've been B listed and it really pissed me off, I didn't go.

    She invited you to her shower, but you weren't invited to the wedding? Eww.

    It was rude to B-list invite you especially since you were invited to the Bridal shower! You're in no way obligated to go if you don't want to!

    I wouldn't have even bothered attending a bridal shower if I wasn't invited to the wedding.

    Hell yes I would go! I already got her that bridal shower gift, I'd help myself to the free food and booze that I deserve for putting up with that rudeness.. If there was any. She obviously doesn't follow etiquette rules so why assume she will follow good hosting rules?

    Wow she invited you to her shower but not the wedding?

    If it was an open bar I'd go though lol.

    I would show up to the reception only, indulge on free booze and food, and as soon as cake was served, I'd grab two slices and go home.

    I wouldn't have gone to the shower if I knew I wasn't invited to the actual wedding but since you've gone may as well go to the wedding if only to be nosey LOL

    Yeah, no. I'd assume she also won't be properly hosting....though maybe she B listed you (and others) so she can properly host. But even if she's properly hosting, B listing is still rude AF.

    If she is an important person to me regardless of what I am to her I would go. Plus open bar like others said

    Is it possible your invite got lost in the mail? That's the only scenario that makes any of this ok.

    I don't think you should not go just because you were "B-listed." Life is way too short to be hanging onto silly stuff like that and you don't want to look back and regret not going just because of that.

    There are totally people that I am going to have to invite on a B list basis, but I want them there really badly!! I just have a lot of family members that I have to invite that are taking up all the guest list, so some friends that I love but I don't see as often are on the B list. Your friend's mistake was inviting you to the shower before she invited you to the wedding and leaving it to a verbal invite. But she's probably really stressed out and busy too! I say cut her some slack, it doesn't mean she loves you any less Smiley smile

    With the shower taking place around the time her wedding RSVPs were likely due, it would have been way too obvious I wasn't invited to her wedding and I'd have chosen not to go to the shower. Add the verbal B-list invite and I'd say that way too many etiquette rules were broken. I wouldn't go to that wedding.

    I would likely be pretty upset and hurt - but obviously you care enough about her to attend her shower - so maybe you should go.....

    If it was me I would feel kind of bummed that I got an invite to "shower the bride" with gifts and not an actual invite to celebrate the wedding. Honestly I would decline. That is pretty rude, I mean people will be talking about the wedding nonstop at the shower, how awkward. I could not imagine doing that, if I don't plan to invite or am not sure I will have room to invite, I would definitely not invite to the wedding.
