Your thoughts - last minute invite

I am not the one that is inviting someone last minute. I got invited to a wedding on Sunday that is happening tomorrow. I got invited threw text by the bride's son (my best friend), but I am not invited to the ceremony, nor am I invited to the dinner part of the reception. I am invited to the dancing part of the reception, and I am invited to the after party. Just wanted to hear your thoughts.

    Does the brides son have no friends invited? I'm assuming she decided he could have friends come last minute so he wouldn't be lonely hahaha

    This made me gag a little bit.

    Absolutely not. That is so insulting...

    But actually, if you go, do you get to drink for free?

    A text invite from a third party to an after party? Yeah.... nope!

    I am going to ask what time the reception is over, and I might just go to the after party

    Nooo, don't go at all.

    It's possible just want people on the dance floor so they can get the most out of their DJ hours because they probably don't expect most people who are actually invited will dance. Nope, nope, nope.

    Big hell to the nope! If they can't be bothered to have you for the whole day and only part of it, I wouldn't even think twice about it.

    A little weird...and what would really be the point if all you get is maybe an hour if dancing? I'd rather go to a club. I'd say politely decline and move along.

    Honestly... It seems like such an after thought. No STD, no actual invitation, and just come to the dancing party maybe because by then the older crowd would be leaving. I assume you knew beforehand about the wedding, and you knew that it was being planned. Even if you showed up towards the end, you would appear to be a super late guest. There's just not a lot of pros to this situation. If the after party is elsewhere, and you really want to go, maybe go to that. It's just all so awkward...

    That's the thing. My FH is working tomorrow night and the only 2 people I would spend it with are going to be there. @AnnaB I thought the same thing about it looking like I am a late guest!

    I don't see it so much as her not inviting you as you've clearly stated you don't like her or her soon to be husband, but it seems to be a chance for you to hang out with your two friends. I don't think someones wedding is an appropriate place if all you're wanting to do is see your friends and catch up.

    Maybe arrange something with your friends afterwards that doesn't involve you coming in awkwardly all late... (and with no gift!- oh the horror! Lol) it's not setting you up very well. Plus like @andrea said, it's still a wedding and if you don't really care for the bride and groom, then maybe let them enjoy their wedding with people that want to celebrate them. Make plans for an after party elsewhere... best I got.. good luck!
