Hi guys - So a good friend is getting married in November, and her shower is in a few weeks. The shower is about 2 hours away from where I and a lot of her friends live. It's about a 4 hour drive for the other friends. Ok, a bit of a haul (and I have to rent a car, etc to get there). But she is a great friend and I'm happy to do it, I"m still on the post-wedding high and love to support other brides.
We had lunch yesterday, and she mentioned that they're having a bachelorette party for her that night, but that not all the shower invitees are invited (apparently including me, as this was all news). Basically the person planning it thinks it's fine to invite women to drive 2-4 hours to a shower at a VINEYARD but not invite them to join in plans that would involve an overnight stay - so they can can actually enjoy the wine at the vineyard and continue to celebrate their friend. I'm not hurt, per se, but I'm a little surprised and I'm sure at some point on my 2+ hour drive home I'll be shaking my head at being given the bum's rush out of the celebration. The bride is also annoyed, but said she tried to talk to her MOH who is planning it, who told her to stay of it, that she was planning it her way.
Would you be hurt/annoyed if you were in my shoes? Or just go, have fun, and come home.
