Would you think an 8pm reception serves dinner?

  Wading, Vogt, and everyone else... I appreciate your input and it is obvious that either what I said was misinterpreted, or else many of you don't agree with me. Thats fine. Lets leave it at that.

  I think that it is rude to invite someone you don't know to a gift party. Common misconception or not, I think it's common sense that you don't ask someone you've never met to attend a party meant for giving you gifts. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that her friends sent out the list, but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.

  I'm also of the "gaps are normal" camp, but receptions in my area never start that late.  I wouldn't assume no dinner based on the gap, but I would based on the time. What I still don't understand is why your FI can't go without you. Less money, he still gets to see his friends.

  I see you don't understand what was just explained to you.  That's fine.

  I never understood why people feel the need to go see their ex co-workers. I can barely stand most of the heifers I work with right now, if I bounced from here I would be more than happy never to see them again in my life.Completely off topic, but.... THAT.

  It sounds like a 2 tier reception to me. I could be wrong, but it sounds as though others will eat dinner and you will not. I would ask what is going on and personally I would not attend if no dinner was provided, it was OOT and 2 weeks before my own wedding.

  I also grew up where it was completely normal to have a many-hour gap.  And cash bars.  And definitely no one ever served dinner.  So that seems to be theme of what you're invited to, and I would expect the same.  Although I don't think this is rude if it's what the guests in that area expect, that doesn't mean I would travel out of my way to attend one.  There's a reason I never go back to my hometown for weddings ...
