So someone in my FI's circle of friends is getting married on May 3rd. Invites went out last week. Found out at the bar on Saturday that FI's best friend ("Jake") received an invite addressed only to him....not his fiancee ("Kate")" (who also happens to be my cousin). Seriously? "Jake" and "Kate" have been dating for like 3.5 years.

I don't understand how that happens. Didn't they go over the guest list together??????

They remembered me though, so there's that.

end rant.

That happens because people are rude or stupid or lazy or some combination of the above.

Ditto was HGF said.

I once got invited to a wedding without my then FI. The bride had once been my best friend. She refused to invite my FI because we weren't married and her mom (who was paying) was following the "no ring, no bring" rule. Apparently being engaged (and living together) didn't count. This is part of why we aren't friends anymore.

Wow, that's a rule? Since when?

Gross. Is "Jake" planning to attend?

Yeah he is....he apparently wrote her name in on the rsvp card.

Wow I have never heard "no ring, no bring" but now that I have: ugh. When my cousin was married, my FI (then bf) was listed as "plus one". We had been together for 4 and a half years, which was a year longer than they had been together and my cousin had met him dozens of times. I wrote his name in on the RSVP and at the wedding on his seating card, his name was spelled wrong. -_-

Something similar happened when Fi and I were invited to this OTT Sweet 16 for some distant cousin of his. First problem was we were just vaguely invited as part of "the [Name] family," no separate invite. Then his own cousin spelled his last name wrong on the escort cards, and my escort card had just my first name. Really? This party was fancier than some weddings I've been to. You'd think they could take a minute to look up the correct spelling of our names on Facebook.

Then his mom was trying to push us into giving a larger check than we felt comfortable with. Basically, the whole thing gave the impression we were just invited to pad the birthday girl's gifts. Blah.

Ewwww.
