“You’re not invited” E-mail Wedding Alerts - Page 2

I think that gifting the bride and groom at weddings should occur on their 1st anniversary rather than their wedding day...

Tacky

Too bad the recipients can't forward the email to the invited guests. Find just one and it would go viral

With my family they'd want both lists on line to figure out if they're allowed to go, half of them are fueding with the other half, to confuse things more the team are regularly redistributed.

I had two uninvited guests at my wedding reception. It was a friend of my brother who lived across the street from me as a kid. He and his buddy were on leave from the Navy apparently looking for a party and free booze. My brother was there of course as were the guy's parents, so I guess he thought it was ok. It's a good thing I didn't kick him out because he is now my boss.

So yeah, it happens, but I think the e-mail is extremely rude.

Some brave couples alert pals that they’re on “the B list” – as in, should space open up, they’re guaranteed a seat.

WTH? Wait-listing your friends. "I'm sorry, I don't like you well enough to give you an invitation to my wedding. If, however, someone I like better than you cannot make it, you can have their rubber chicken and cheap champagne."

Typically when not invited to a wedding, it's because you don't know the couple well and didn't expect to be invited. Or, if it's a good friend, you already know that they're having only a couple of people and you still don't expect an invitation. To outright tell someone they're not invited is unnecessarily rude and hurtful, and to wait-list them is a downright insulting slap in the face.

I'd invite my wedding guests solely on their ability to provide a kick-ass wedding present.

The hubby and I are renewing our vows next year. Just so no one gets butt hurt no one is invited!

Thank goodness I'm no one. Do you need the address to send my invitation? I'd hate to miss a good party.

I'll be sure to tell everyone else what a good time they missed
