I am handing out programs for my best friends wedding. I've been friends with for over ten years. She sent me an invitation for the wedding including my boyfriend. We responded that both of us would attend. Today she calls me (and the wedding is a week from now) saying I can't bring a date because they have too many people coming now and they are calling their friends not married and ask them to come alone. She said they just received a lot of RSVP cards and that is what has put them over. As they were getting declines in they were sending more out. I told her my feelings were hurt and she said well remember this is my day and you need to figure out what is important to you and we just want the people that matter to us there. So, my boyfriend who she's met isn't important? I told her I might just go to the wedding and hand out programs and not go to the reception. Please help, do I go to the wedding at all?

Re: [houseparty] Uninviting Guests once RSVP sent in
[In reply to]
Dear Houseparty,
Your friend may have behaved poorly, but it is your choice to do the same. If you do not feel comfortable attending either events, then this is fine. You definitely do not have to participate if the 'rules' have changed. But, it could be viewed as poor behavior on your part to stay home out of spite. So, decide what you really want to do and feel comfortable doing.
