Were going to weddings in the night Saturday and Sunday. One is a mutual mate and one is DH mate. Aibu to miss one? I feel selfish but feeling that my bank hol weekend is being taken up by weddings. Were also going through fertility treatment no one knows and im not really up to innane questions about my uterus from strangersGrin

Oh I'd definitely dodge one of them.

How is your stomach, are you sure you aren't about to develop some bowel busting case of diarrhoea?

MitzyLeFrouf · 27/05/2016 16:31

Go to the mutual friend's and let DH go to his pal's wedding alone.

EweAreHere · 27/05/2016 16:33

If you have RSVP'ed 'yes' and they are paying for food for you, etc., you go.

It would be rude not to, unless you are unwell.

VodkaValiumLattePlease · 27/05/2016 16:34

Err no that's bloody rude

Fluffyseagull · 27/05/2016 16:35

It is only the night wouldnt dream of missing a day invite

MitzyLeFrouf · 27/05/2016 16:36

Is it bloody rude? They're only going to the evening part. Or that's how I read it.

Fluffyseagull · 27/05/2016 16:37

Both weddings are evening invites to clarify

Have you already accepted both invitations?

If so then you should really make an effort to go. I'm always a bit Hmm on here when people gladly accept invitations and then decide a couple of days before the event whether to turn up or not.

Fluffyseagull · 27/05/2016 16:38

The saturday one yes. The sunday one was more an open invite to work colleagues and partners

OP posts:
MitzyLeFrouf · 27/05/2016 16:39

The couple aren't going to be out of pocket if you don't turn up to the evening do.

VodkaValiumLattePlease · 27/05/2016 16:39

Yes I do think it's rude when they've rsvp'd, they had a choice when they were invited.

MitzyLeFrouf · 27/05/2016 16:39

Meh. Things change.

Fluffyseagull · 27/05/2016 16:40

I would go to both but I love weddings so would see it as a treat!

Iggii · 27/05/2016 16:41

They will have requested a buffet for a certain number. You not going will hardly make a difference to the cost, but what if others have the same approach? Why did you accept both?

SomethingLike · 27/05/2016 16:42

You don't have to tell anyone about your fertility treatment though unless you've already told people who are going to be there and you're expecting them to enquire about it?

PPie10 · 27/05/2016 16:42

Yanbu, what a waste of a holiday weekend going to two weddings. Give one a miss.

Iggii · 27/05/2016 16:43

You just have been on fertility treatment for a while though, you didn't find out today! If anyone is rude enough to enquire about babies try the mumsnet stare and walk away.

Fluffyseagull · 27/05/2016 16:43

As explained above why accepted both. I didnt know id need fertility treatment and now i am on it its a bit much

OP posts:
VodkaValiumLattePlease · 27/05/2016 16:43

Does that affect attending events?

TheCrumpettyTree · 27/05/2016 16:44

It's two evenings, it's hardly the whole of the holiday weekend.

Fluffyseagull · 27/05/2016 16:44

Iggi i started treatment this week

Honestly OP if you don't feel up to both you don't need to go to both.

The sky will not fall in.

myownprivateidaho · 27/05/2016 16:45

Why on earth would people be asking about your uterus? Confused. Tbh you've presumably said yes, you should go. It's only two evenings, what else are you going to do, sit at home? I don't get that attitude tbh.
