Cant attend wedding bc its a destination wedding but..

Here's the deal I cant attend my friends wedding, various reasons its a destination wedding, 9 hours away etc...However I was also invited to the wedding shower and the bachelorette party, both of which I can attend. Will she still want me to go to those events?

Re: Cant attend wedding bc its a destination wedding but..

  • I'm sure she would want you to attend, but you don't have to go if you don't want to.  Since you were invited to the wedding, she's not breaking any etiquette rules about inviting you to pre-wedding parties. 
    Holy Crap. We survived the first year!

  • Yes, probably more so since you can't make it to the wedding.

  • Yes she still would want you there.
  • probably twice as much because you can't actually  make the wedding!
  • You should attend to b shower and bachelorette party, you're invited which means your attendance is expected/desired.

  • yep definitly go, if you want to.
    and to make things easier for you and the bride, if you were going to get a wedding gift too, bring that to the shower with the other, or get an extra special shower gift. one less thing for the bride to pack home from the destination.

  • Yep, if you're invited then I'm sure she would love for you to attend, especially if you can't make it to the wedding!

  • I'm sure she understands based on being a DW, that you are not able to attend, but she obviously wanted you there, or she wouldn't have invited you. So there is no problem with going to the showers/parties prior.
  • You should absolutely go if you can.  I live in GA, but our wedding is in NY, so a lot of my friends who were invited can't afford to make the trip.  I still gave their names to my friends who are coordinating my local shower because I want to celebrate with them, even though they can't make the trip to NY.
