So my mom was trying to tell me that if you invite someone to your wedding and they don't come they will still feel obligated to buy you a gift? Is this standard? My response to her was way back when maybe.
I'm pretty sure I've been invited to weddings that I couldn't attend for whatever reason, but the thought to send a gift never crossed my mind.
I ask because there are some people I know probably won't be able to come out to the wedding, however, I'd feel bad NOT inviting them, so feel I should still send the invite even though I know they prob. won't come. And in no way would I expect them to send us a gift, in fact, I'd feel bad if they did!
Thoughts on this or know what is standard? aka who's right, me or my mom:)
