Help I seem to be in wedding hell right now with several weddings with friends/family.
I went in on a wedding gift with several others to a wedding I assumed I would be invited to. The wedding is in 4 weeks, and I haven't received an invitation.
I helped address shower invitations last week and received an invite to that. It's a shower during the day, and bachelorette party that night.
I talked to the groom the night we were addressing the shower invites and he asked if I had gotten an invitation and he'd make sure we got one.
Do I go to either of the festivities this weekend, or do I skip them since I've already basically given a gift for a wedding I'm not invited to?
Tough situation! Did the others who were invited to the wedding receive theirs yet? (i.e., Is it possible they sent all the invites to the ceremony out late?)
Do you feel comfortable giving the B&G a call to let them know you didn't receive the invite, since the groom actually did invite you verbally?
Were you invited to the shower/bachelorette party? If so, I think you should base your decision to go or not go based on your personal feelings. It would be rude for them to invite you to those events and not to the ceremony, but it's them that would be rude, not you. I don't think the fact that you bought them a gift should be the determining factor.
Sounds like you are invited to the wedding, and you just haven't received the formal invitation yet. I have never heard of a bridal shower where guests were invited to the shower and not the wedding. And since the groom verbally invited you and asked about the invite, sounds like the bride and groom aren't all-together and organized with the invites.
I would accept or decline the shower invitation based on the knowledge you are invited to the wedding. Bridal Shower Games A-Z http://www.bridalshowergamesatoz.com
