I've never had to start a second thread so no idea if I've done this right.
I couldn't resist the title.

It's funny but @jessicawessica I really feel for your Mum too. I don't get the 'mix' part, surely you want people to have a good time? We had small tables and put people in family groups, people still mixed (we may have supplied too much wine and put on a bus).

I've just proper giggled at the image of the beegees at the altar. I'm assuming we mean the two remaining brothers?

I hate weddings where they mix up the groups. They never feel quite the same as ones where everyone knows the people around the table and is relaxed and comfortable.

I’ve just read both threads (thank you menopause for waking at 3 am daily). Your DN sounds very entitled and immature.

I’m sorry your mother has to go through this.

Will they be doing that thing where the best man reads out the cards and best wishes from people who cant be there? If so you should get a poster sized still from the video, folded up inside the card with 'YOU WERE THERE YOU LITTLE SHIT'

I'm starting to wonder if this is the wedding my ds and his partner are avoiding. They have booked themselves onto a trip to the Lake district claiming it was booked at Christmas as a pressy from his Gran (it was a present but they pick the dates)
They visited us the other week and were saying that it wasn't a wedding they wanted to go to, and were so glad his Gran had given them a trip.

Have no advice, just popped in to thank OP. I'm off sick and these 2 threads have nicely occupied my morning until Wimbledon comes on.

So boo for your shit DN, but you've got karma points for entertaining a sick person and taking her mind off post-surgery ouchies.

Think I've just helped you get in the Good Place ;)

Completely off topic but there’s only one remaining isn’t there? Barry.

Oh god bless your dear mum. I think we all love her.

While I get the tradional idea of mixing tables up. I'd make sure a relative who's on her own had family she knew beside her. In fact at my own wedding we mixed and juggled. But made sure very couple / family knew at least one other couple or family on the table.

I am loving the idea of sending a card for the Best Man to read out re my wedding. Think I'd put something like "Hope you're enjoying your wedding as much as you enjoyed mine".
DD has also been invited.....that's 2 children now invited to a non children wedding.
Wonder what the other guests who have had to arrange childcare for their DCs will think when my DD and my niece's DS rock up.
Mum has decided that if anyone asks who DD is she will tell them the truth....that the rest of her family weren't invited, full stop.

I'm glad we are still getting updates. When is the wedding again?

Wedding's in August so at least they had the sense to pick a date with good weather.

Great update

EdtheBear · 13/07/2019 06:42

How did it come about that your DD is going but your not?

Has nephew made any apology for the invites in the first place?

RosaWaiting · 13/07/2019 10:27

OP sorry I've lost the plot a bit

is your mum going to the whole thing now?

I am also really glad you acted on this rather than quietly seething!

Weezol · 13/07/2019 10:34

on a similar note, if your mum is getting them a gift how about a framed photo of him and his bro at your wedding?

Genius. Moonpig.com will put this picture on a 'Congratulations on Your Wedding' card for a few quid.

Disfordarkchocolate · 13/07/2019 10:47

Moonpig card with a picture of your wedding.

Family themed present, preferably carved from wood.

My mum is invited to the whole day but she has decided to leave after the meal.
Not sure why they decided to invite DD....probably think she'll babysit their DD throughout the day. The bride asked my mum to ask me if DD could go as I haven't actually seen her or DN for weeks now. I said if DD wanted to go with my mum then that was her decision. I wouldn't stop her going as she was so looking forward to it previously.

OP thanks
I missed the bit about asking your DD!

ShutTheFridgeUp · 14/07/2019 08:35

@Weezol that is entirely perfect! Such delicate lace, and what every upmarket bathroom needs to tie it together. 👌🏼

IggyAce · 14/07/2019 12:03

Thanks for the update OP.
