DP and I recently got engaged. Have been NC with mother for 18 months, no plans to resume contact any time soon. My question is more how to go about telling her I'm getting married without rubbing in the fact she's not going to be invited.
I wouldn't tell her at all were it not for the fact that I'm inviting her sister and I don't want my aunt to be forced to lie, or be the one who tells my mother as that's going to put her in an awkward position.
I was thinking of sending a letter (so as not to open up a dialogue) along the lines of:
"I wanted to inform you that DP and I are engaged and will be getting married next year. I thought you should hear it from me rather than someone else."
No doubt I'll be back on here for advice on explaining to people why she won't be coming to the wedding...
