Rude wedding invitation?

[PumpkinPies38]

I have NC for this as could out me.

Today we received a wedding invitation and I think it's grabby but it's from a cousin and am not rally in a position to say anything.

So the first thing is it's a two day celebration in another county within the UK. They have said we have to pay our share of the venue accommodation which is £120 for our room and included their bank details for this!

Then at the bottom of the invitation it says: "Gift cards or cash gifts only please."

I've spoken to my mum who is but thinks we shouldn't say anything to upset them but I want to call them on this. We couldn't really stay at a different location as its in the middle of nowhere. Surely they should pay the accommodation? Realistically we would need two nights as the thing starts early on the Saturday and continues into Sunday night with various meals and games. I want to call them on it but don't know if I should or not.

Pumpkin, do you want to go for the dress shopping?

Oh ffs! Tell her you couldn't care less what fecking dress she gets. Turning the bloody dress shopping into a festival!

She really sees herself as some sort of superstar, doesn't she? Graciously allowing you to be part of her special day, despite you seeing through her cunning ploy to enable you to help pay for the wedding...
As with all these OTT extravaganza's; I'd give it 6 months. A year at the outside, if I was a betting woman.
Courier the champagne over to her and wish her luck, but you can't go because you have to wash your hair. Urgently.

I'm gathering Op isn't daft enough to traipse around on three trips.

Bloody hope not anyway.

Fuck that shit.

I wonder what the groom thinks of all the shenanigans. He's definitely getting a good look at what he's in for. Poor sod...

Why are you going dress shopping with her?

Isnt that what she has bridesmaids for? Has she fallen out with them?

Wow. A man proposed. It's not a Jubilee. Bridezilla madness!

Maybe the bridesmaids are the only ones going so they have to find £3k a head

Wondering if Pumpkin went dress shopping in the end. Hope everything worked out ok.
