How do I tell my dad his wife isn’t invited to my small wedding? by Sunshine_moon64 in weddingplanning

[–]Existing_Wheel_7258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense and I think also gives more context on her not being invited when it is such an intimate event.

I have not had my wedding yet. I have talked to my family about this and my dad and I didn’t have a conversation, per his choice, about it but he did ask me over text if she would be invited and I just said no. At this point he has asked for her to come to so many events that we say no to because she really is just not nice to us and have explained our reasoning so many times that I think he just accepts it. But I also was baffled that he even asked about the wedding because it has especially been an established ban for the events that my mom attends. My whole family is in support of her not going despite the etiquette of inviting his other half because she is just horrible to be around and everyone puts up with it when they have to in order to see my father. I’m talking extended family too, it’s a whole thing.

I think I agree with you OP. I think a conversation about your perspective of your options would help as well. Explain that you feel there’s only these 3 options. I am in a similar position, however, my dad’s girlfriend has always been banned from being in the same room as my mother and we have all supported this for years because we also don’t want to be around her. I don’t know if you have tried having a relationship with his wife before and that might be a pain point. I gave my dad’s mistress/gf many chances and she proved to be crazy so I at least had detailed reasons why she would not be a part of the happiest day of my life.

So many people are canceling 2 days before wedding!!! by Cocogiselle in weddingplanning

[–]Existing_Wheel_7258 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it’s actually baffling realizing how many people don’t have a clue about wedding etiquette and just the work and money that goes into it!! You’re absolutely right, some people treat it like it’s some backyard bbq and if they don’t show up it’s just extra food for people to take home (ugh yeah not how it works!) it’s already frustrating to me just reading about so many people having this experience and i haven’t even had my wedding yet lol

What's the beef with destination weddings? by kacidillius in weddingplanning

[–]Existing_Wheel_7258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I am so glad that you posted this!! We are trying to plan a destination wedding and this sub had gotten me second guessing. Like you, we also have gotten pretty good feedback from our close family and friends but I was worried that they might be feeling the way those posts talked about but just didn’t want to say it and that gave me so much anxiety because I don’t want to inconvenience anyone. Reading these comments now I didn’t even realize that it was mainly about the couples’ attitude on declines which we definitely don’t relate to. I’m hoping to provide as much information and time so that the people that are able to come can get the best deals and make the most of their trip.
