My bf got a wedding invitation from a friend. I was not invited. He and I have been together over a year and are planning marriage. I have met the engaged couple several times and have been to their house before. I think I had every right to be upset at their rudeness in excluding me, but being upset is as far as I would have taken it.
He texted and wanted to know why I wasn't invited and told them how it made me feel.
They were nice enough to pretend that it was an accidental oversight, which was gracious of them, but I am so incredibly embarrassed that he did that! I would never have let on that I was hurt. I certainly would never have demanded an invitation.
Needless to say I am not going! I would be too embarrassed to show up. I wasn't invited in the first place, so clearly they didn't want me there.
I am absolutely mortified. I can't believe he actually texted them with a guilt trip for excluding me.
Besides sending them a nice card and a gift registry from both of us, is there anything I can do to save face? I don't want them thinking the text was my idea, but then again maybe this is a case of "least said, soonest mended?"
Re: embarrassing situation
And keep in mind that while we assume most people know you need to invite SO's by name, plenty don't or they make mistakes.
If I were you, I'd accept the apology and move on. Be gracious and show up with your BF rather than continue to be upset now that you're welcome. Then they may wonder if it's possible to please you.
I'd Accept the apology and attend the wedding.
This is exactly my thought. They apologized and made accomodations for you...it might make you look bad to not go after they made the room.
