Hi fellow knotties! I'm having a very small bridal party, made it the people we are close with and historically have been. We wanted it even on both sides, just personal preference. From FI side, there is one of age family member who we couldn't include, not to purposely hurt her but because there is no personal relationship there with FI or myself. Also we had already had our hearts set on other people for other roles like readers.
At any rate, I have heard through the grape vine she was bothered a while ago and whining on about it. Only recently through their actions I see how bothered... her immediate family is so incredibly offended they have chosen not to send a bridal shower gift-OK fine, and have declined their seats at our wedding. Has anyone been through this before? I'd appreciate some support or advice. I just can't understand how people come out of the woodwork and expect to be included
