You went to their wedding.... but they don't come to yours??

It really stinks when I’ve made efforts to go to my friends weddings (ALL of which I have traveled by long car ride or plane, plus hotel expenses, plus a gift). And they are not coming to mine (which would require equal amount of travel). Also, many of these friends have also had kids by now and if I was unable to attend their shower, I always sent a gift. SOME of these friends haven’t even sent their RSVPs back so I just sent an email out to remind them to kindly send them back to me. Some answers I got back “Opps, I forgot, sorry can’t make it”.  Wish I could rewind time and not made the efforts for them either.

Yup, it sucks.  Nothing you can do but bitch and moan.  FI's cousin, who I sent a gift for her shower, went to wedding in Pittsburgh, she never sent a thank you note for either(but did manage to cash my check), isn't coming to our wedding and fat chance we'll get a gift.  I say the people that are very generous with their gifts make up for the duds.  AND I believe in karma

Everyone is in different stages in their lives, especially financially; but that does not mean everyone should not RSVP yes or no and at the least send a card. I would hold FI accountable for that cousin, especially since she cashed your check.

Couldn't agree more cmeyer!
It's happen to me with one of my cousins and I have just learned to get over it since it is the least of my worries at this point! LOL

well, when you know via facebook that they just traveled to another friends wedding in Mexico last week you know where you stand I guess.

ugh, sucks big time.  I haven't sent out my invites yet but this is one of my fears.  i tend to be a lil overemotional when it comes to items like that so I am hoping i can be the bigger person and not let it bother me..but I am not sure if i can.  Just grin and bear it i guess.

i agree with cmeye though....karma is a wonderful thing!
