African American Weddings

Anyone mad at you?

Has anyone else had people mad at them in regards to their wedding? I've had people mad at me because they weren't invited to my shower even though they know they weren't invited to my wedding. This is what they've said, "You should've at least invited me to your shower. I would've gotten you a good gift."My mental response, "That's why your @ss wasn't invited in the first place! I ain't no ho and I'm not pimping myself/shower/or wedding for no gift! "My spoken response, "I've had lots of people who weren't invited to my shower/wedding give me a gift-why? Because they love me/FI and they want to help. I don't see why you can't do the same."I also tried to explain to them that shower etiquette that it's wrong to invite them only to a shower, but they don't get it. Some people can be so ugh!

    my cousin was a bit peeved b/c she was the only one in her immediate family invited. mad may be a stretch, though. i'm cool though b/c none of them were invited to my shower anyway! i felt obliged to at least invite her because i was in hers. she didn't show. cool.

    People kill me being all upset over a wedding that isn't theirs! UGH! You mad because you aren't in the wedding. You mad because you aren't invited. You mad because nobody is sharing details about MY wedding with you. You mad because you're mad. *sorry to jack your post but this is some bull! These chicks are sick in the head!*

    I guess I have bad etiquette, because most of my bridal shower list are people that aren't invited to the wedding. We are including a written explanation in the invitation explaining to the guest why they were invited to the shower and not the wedding. (It sounds worse then it really is) Oh well. I guess you are better then I am. lol!!
