Friends wedding

[strawberrry]

I was given a verbal invite to a friends wedding a year ago. Have seen each other a handful of times since then. Haven't received an actual invite, except for a text 2 weeks before the big day.
I have a toddler to organise childcare for and will be 37 weeks pregnant on that date.

Will had to buy myself and DH something to wear and a gift (which will be given regardless if we go or not) - I had forgotten all about the wedding and was already needing to spend that money on the last baby buys.

AIBU to not go?

2 weeks notice? Surely you have other plans. I wouldn’t go. Especially on a text only invite

Of course not it’s an invitation not a command.

Tell her it’s your due date and so you obviously can’t attend and send a card with a voucher

2 weeks? You're a replacement for another guest dropping out.
Don't go.

No. Don't go. Perhaps sent a small thoughtful gift or card. My sister brought a friend as her guest to my wedding and she brought us a set of Mr and Mrs mugs. It was our most used wedding gift and made us feel really happy on our first few days of being married.

I would go without husband if money is an issue? I went wedding 5 days PP, and just wore a maternity dress! No one expects a pregnant woman to buy a posh frock! Any dress will look lovely as you will be glowing! 2 weeks before hand they will already have paid for you so it would be nice if you did go?

It's informal if no official invite

I'd send a text Bk to let her know

@Minniemountain I did wonder! When I got married I hand delivered most invitations to ensure people received them - forgot to add she lives 3 streets away!

Don't go, send a card and £20 vouchers. Only send vouchers if she's a good friend, if casual just a nice card.
