Hi I posted awhile ago about possibly not making a friend's rehearsal dinner. Now it turns out that I can make it. I am a bridesmaid
I am currently confused and baffled on this. My friend is having a large wedding and has a total of 7 bridesmaids. One of us is married, three others (MOH included) are dating, and I'm engaged. The bride has told two of the bridesmaids who are dating that they could not bring their SOs to the wedding because her guest list has reached the venue's capacity. They were reasonably upset, but some how managed to put it behind them (if it were me I'd drop out of the wedding party).
A few days ago she sent out a Facebook message to us about the rehearsal. It is a couple of weeks away. She worded that "with those who have exceptions and I have spoken to, no one else can bring their SOs to the rehearsal." I was confused by this and texted her if my fiancé was invited. We were both planning to attend and my fiancé asked to get off early from work to attend. She finally told me and said she was so sorry that I could not bring my fiancé because of funding? I was very confused and am one of the two bridesmaids who are in serious committed relationships, yet apparently exceptions were given to others? What gives?
I looked all over online to see if what the bride did was inconsiderate, but there are mixed reviews. What does this community say? She is also in my bridal party, I am getting married two months after her wedding and was planning to invite her husband to come to the rehearsal dinner (my bridal party is allowed to bring their plus ones to the rehearsal AND wedding). My mom thinks I should not invite her husband to the rehearsal dinner after she did this to me, but I don't want to come off passive aggressive.
