My fiance and I planning on having Sunday brunch with those who stay overnight for our wedding. My parents don't currently plan on staying over because they have pets. They do have someone watching the pets during the wedding. My mom made the comment they probably won't attend the Sunday brunch. Do you think I am wrong for feeling hurt that my own parents won't attend? My sister and grandmother and grandfather plan on attending though.
Re: Sunday Brunch
You could offer to cover the cost of pet sitting for them if its important to you that they attend, but be gracious and understanding if they choose to head home.
Every morning after brunch I've ever attended has been super laid back and informal, very open house-y. I doubt anyone would even notice if some VIPs weren't there.
And a brunch is such a small thing compared to the big stuff that I really wouldn't give it a second thought.
I think the best thing to do is invite them to the brunch and let them make their decisions. You can absolutely feel sad they’re not going to make it, but I also don’t think they’re doing anything wrong either.
But theyre going to be at the wedding right? That’s what’s really important.
