FrIend getting married, not inviting her mum

[Anyoldfuckingusername]

Posting here for traffic, sorry.
A really good friend of mine is getting married and doesn’t want to invite her mum for various reasons. Dad is also not available. Another of our friends got engaged about the same time and has a really supportive family. I’d really like first friend to feel supported- any tips?

She would probably feel most supported by not judging her decision.

Ask her what she wants or needs but someone who cuts off family rarely asks for help or feels the can rely on anyone. Please only offer if you can actually do it.

Does she want or need support? You can check in to see if you can help i guess, but I wouldn’t assume she feels anything other than happy that she’s getting married. Everyone has their own ideas of how they want their wedding to be so no need to compare the two friends.
