Dps best friend from primary has distributed his wedding invites today. Silly me thought I was invited Blush dp and I have been together 2 years and have 1 yr old dd.
All the other girlfriends/fiances have been invited but im not on the invite,not even as a plus one :/
I understand obviously money may be a factor or they dont want children there but nothing has been said.
Its 5 hours away and in a big posh hotel, we were both looking forward ro our first night away, with dd staying with lovely gp's.
Im thinking of just going anyway, nice spa during the day then get dressed up and go and join in the evening do.
But part of me is worried that I would be kindof embarrassing myself and them too? I cant jelp but think they dont wnt me there for some reason butI dont know either of them very well so I'm positive they don't hate me etc..
Aibu to go anyway?

I forgot to post an invite to my aunt & uncle!!!!

It wasn't until my aunt (dad has 2 sisters) said other aunt was house sitting for them so they could stay over that I questioned why aunt p (my favourite out of them both!) wasn't coming to my wedding!! Aunt b said she hadn't been invited!!

I was mortified!! I actually rang her right then in front of my other aunt in tears at our oversight!

So I can totally see how things slip through the net! Hope you get your response soon :)

QOD · 22/04/2014 19:19

mcdog · 22/04/2014 19:33

Good god, the suspense!!

BelleateSebastian · 22/04/2014 19:37

I couldn't decide whether to go with Cock womble or Wank badger so .. tada The Wankwomble is born!

DejaVuAllOverAgain · 22/04/2014 19:45

Grin at Wankwomble.

harriet247 · 22/04/2014 19:46

Dp textes saying 'hey, thanks for the invite buddy, was just going to book the hotel and noticed harriet247 isnt on the invite? She means the world to me (awwwwwwww!) So wasn't sure if a mistake or if there would be a way round it? Good seeing you Saturday x'

Fingers crossed!

I'm in no way marking my place.

At all. And I'm definitely hoping you turn up as the caterer....

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 22/04/2014 20:06

I hope you hear back (with good news) soon

really1234 · 22/04/2014 20:20

No reply so far means it was on purpose and now they're wondering what to do I reckon. If it was a mistake there would have been an immediate apology and clarification. Ooops.

Only1scoop · 22/04/2014 20:27

Blimey H they really have you hanging on....

Never mind practice the Twerking and we will have a MN night on the tiles instead Wink

UnderthePalms · 22/04/2014 20:30

Oh no. What if they don't reply? Will your dp pull out? They are unbelievable

AmandaTanen · 22/04/2014 20:40

Any news yet?

Tiredstilltired · 22/04/2014 20:47

Really hope you can go. Us mom's need a break. Pretty mean of them if they say no. You sound lovely.

Waltermittythesequel · 22/04/2014 20:50

The lack of reply is astounding because it suggests that they did this on purpose, which is outrageous!

How long will dp give it before he sends his rejection RSVP?

LuluJakey1 · 22/04/2014 20:52

I can't decide what it means. Perhaps they are just having tea or someone has called round and that's why they haven't answered yet. Don't think we should assume bad things. Hope you get to go Harriet. It sounds like it would be a nice treat and a chance to get to know more of his friends. When did he send the text?

Only1scoop · 22/04/2014 20:53

Was that little text sent last night H?

Does his bud normally reply pretty quick....as it seems an uncomfortable silence....

SquidgyMaltLoaf · 22/04/2014 20:58

Not marking my place, nooo of course not.

coffeehouse · 22/04/2014 20:59

Something similar happened to a friend of mine, text sent etc. friend wasnt included so neither went to the wedding. And they made the most of a child free weekend together in a nice hotel...i hope your Dp will do the same. Its very rude and hurtful not to be included.

coffeehouse · 22/04/2014 21:00

I really hope its a simple mistake . ( sorry forgot to say that )
