Did this person invite themselves to a wedding?

So, person A received an invite to a family wedding. Person A mentions this to person B who claims to not have been invited. Another family member has also been invited, let's call them C. A week later, B assumes that a mistake has been made so uses the code on C's invite to RSVP on their wedding website.

Was B being a cheeky fucker?

Yes!

NoKidsTwoCats · 15/10/2017 19:07

Yes. No invite = not invited.

GeillisTheWitch · 15/10/2017 19:08

Yes B was a CF and if pulling this kind of stunt is typical of them I can see why they weren't invited.

Yoplate · 15/10/2017 19:08

Yes! That's so fucking weird. Also presumably cohabiting family members to give acces to invitation with code?

A code on a wedding website to RSVP? Wow it's all changed since I got married!
But yes, cheeky. You can't just assume a mistake has been made!

Leeds2 · 15/10/2017 19:10

Do the bride/groom know that B has responded in place of C? Is C intending to go?

Twickerhun · 15/10/2017 19:10

Sounds extraordinarily cheeky

Caspiana · 15/10/2017 19:10

B is taking the piss. They didn’t get an invitation so they weren’t invited.

If B thought it was an error they should have politely clarified with bride and groom not unilaterally decided to RSVP to an event they had not received an invitation to.

EdmundCleverClogs · 15/10/2017 19:10

Sound like some intriguing cheeky fuckery going on. What's the full story then?

LoveProsecco · 15/10/2017 19:14

Wow! What a bizarre thing to do Hmm

NoCryLilSoftSoft · 15/10/2017 19:16

Has the wedding already happened? Surely if B used C's code then all they have done is confirm that C will be attending.

KindergartenKop · 15/10/2017 19:17

B is parent of A and C and doesn't have cf tendencies thus far. Although I suspect both C and B have Asperger's so they might not have realised it's inappropriate.

C can still rsvp for themselves because you have to type your name in.

I don't know what the bride and groom think, maybe it was a mistake!

Wedding isn't until next summer so this is going to be a slow burner!

Whaaaaat??? That is extreme cf behaviour! You should tip off the bride and groom. Would you have expected the mum to be invited?

seven201 · 15/10/2017 19:20

*or dad

NoCryLilSoftSoft · 15/10/2017 19:21

How will C be able to confirm twice? Surely the system will flag up that the code has already been used and won't allow a double confirmation. Otherwise what is the point of a code? Confused

TheweewitchRoz · 15/10/2017 19:22

I've never heard of a code to RSVP by - how does that even work? Confused

Yoplate · 15/10/2017 19:24

Has your mum/dad had a falling out with parents of the B&G?

TheAntiBoop · 15/10/2017 19:24

I assume it's a code to log on to the wedding website - not a code specific to the invitee

Are the parents closely related to B or G? I can imagine it would be a bit odd to invite cousins but not aunt and uncle unless there's more to the story

NoCryLilSoftSoft · 15/10/2017 19:26

Ahh, yes that makes more sense antiboop!

KindergartenKop · 15/10/2017 19:28

It's more like a password and then you type your name and the no of people you are rsvp ing for.

Given A and C were invited, it's weird that B wasn't invited TBH. Groom is related to them all and was invited to A's wedding, along with groom's parents and brother.

Sparkletastic · 15/10/2017 19:29

Yes B is a CF. Either person A or C needs to let bride or groom know (whichever they are related / closest to) what has happened and then deal with CF accordingly.

KindergartenKop · 15/10/2017 19:29

B is aunt by marriage to groom. We aren't particularly close though. But also the family isn't huge.
