Would this irritate you?

Fair warning, this is trivial

Wedding invitation arrived for extended family wedding addressed to me and my sister. I haven’t lived with my sister for almost 14 years since we were teenagers. We aren’t close. I have no idea if she intends to go to this wedding. It appears however that we are a “duo” as far as this B&G are concerned. Niether of us have partners and I certainly wasn’t expecting a plus 1 but nor am I my sisters other half! It has made me feel like both a child and an old lady spinster who has lived with her sister all her life!

That's funny

And irritating

That is a bit off. Kinda stingy too!!!

Glad it’s not just me! I guess it is to save money on invitations but it’s kind of a stretch in my book to double up just because we’re sisters. I never see her!

My brother texts me every year to ask for my address to post my birthday card & every year despite me giving him my address he posts it to my mum & dads house. I'm married & have not lived with my parents for 17 years. Bloody irritates me.

I don’t think my sister would know my address either! But we don’t get each other cards.

It wouldn't bother me tbh

Not that big a deal.

I know it’s not ( I said the same in the first line of my OP )

I was just asking if it would irritate others. I knew it wouldn’t bother everyone.

It's a bit weird!

I don't understand why they've invited you at all, they obviously don't know you very well!! Why invite people you never see and don't know anything about?!

yeah it would irritate me a bit.

There’s a bit of a silly thing among some of my extended family that the bigger the wedding the better. The men like to brag about how many are coming and “pretend moan” how much it is costing them I’ve no doubt that DSis and I have been invited to bump up the numbers. Unfortunately for this couple I am not going so he can’t count me in his numbers.

It does seem a bit...um...unusual!

Who cares

If you're not going you could return the invite along with your sister's address and suggest they need to pass the invite on to her themselves - they might get the hint then!

It seems a very odd way of doing things and would piss me off - you're an adult ffs (as is your sister).

How bizarre!

I don’t think I’d be irritated as such, more perplexed. I don’t have a lot of time for the hard of thinking, so I’d just RSVP & say ‘No idea about ‘julia’ you’ll have to ask her’ and give them her address if you have it. Folk are weird.

I’d be tempted to go just to see what other batshit things they do 🤣

I think it would charm me, but I am 55 and my sister is 64, so it would just remind me of childhood- a wonderful time when our relationships and our lives were very different from how they are now. For me, it is nostalgic and sweet to be reminded of my original family in this way (though they were far from perfect).
Maybe I feel this way partly because my sister and I are the last 2 surviving members of that family.

That would definately annoy me, more so because I don’t get on with my sister and would be forced to speak to her to ask if she’s going!! Never a good thing...

incredibly, I’m half tempted to RSVP to the groom’s brother.
