I just have to vent for a second, and I know you ladies will understand.
First, the other day I get a bridal shower invitation for the fiancee of a guy I used to work with 6 months ago (he was a temp and has since left the company). When he still worked here, he said he was going to invite all of us from work to the wedding because he has to meet the minimum for their venue and their families are super small. None of us at work talk to him anymore now that he has left the company and we didn't really care for him much when we worked with him and I have not once ever met his fiancee. I was totally confused when I got the invite and actually had to think for awhile about who the heck the person was that the invite was for. I'm just annoyed because it seems totally gift grabby since I've never even met her but I'm supposed to buy her a gift and go to her shower? Is it totally rude if I decline and don't send a gift?
Second, I got an invite for the bachelorette party of the fiancee of a good friend of my FH. The invite was from the bride herself, had 2 dates on it because she wasnt' sure which date was better for her and she wants us to keep both free for now.
WTH is wrong with some people?? Maybe I'm just tired and grouchy but I want to direct these people to this board so they can get their head screwed on straight! Sorry, thanks for letting me vent.
