Unless youve got an unlimited budget, you probably wont be able toinvite everyoneyou know to your wedding.
Youll have to make some tough choices.
Do you want your cousins (thrice removed, living abroad) to show up?
Do you invite all of your coworkers or just your besties?
How many lukewarm acquaintances can you feed?
Most people probably understand that they might not get invited, and theyre fine with this.
However, somebridesmay be a tad naive or miss common sense social cues entirely.
Redditor u/hereforgossip17opened upabout how a bride sent her an incredibly bizarre invite.
Not to her wedding, mind youit was to a group chat for wedding updates.
Read on for the full story and the internets reactions.
Check out our interview with her below!
Its natural to want to share your joy with everyone when youre getting married.
That seems really shortsighted, u/hereforgossip17 told Bored Panda.
I do wish I had told her directly.
I was advised against doing that by another person on the chat.
It was probably her taking the polite do share pictures literally in this case, u/hereforgossip17 said.
In my opinion, anyone you dont want to invite, dont invite them.
Its your day, and you should probably feel happy and safe and comfortable, she said.
You cant be close to everyone you meet and are acquainted with.
Maybe youre not best friends with the happy couple.
Perhaps theyre doing a wedding on a shoestring budget.
Maybe theyre doing a destination wedding and only inviting their nearest and dearest.
Or perhaps there are a bunch of other factors affecting their decision.
Feeling pressured to invite everyone just because youre scared of the social fallout is no way to live.
However, lets not rub salt into anyones metaphorical wounds, shall we?
Its showing off how awesome of a time youre having and rubbing it into peoples faces.
Of course, the bride might not have meant it that way.
However, a group chat for only the invited guests would be a far better decision.
Everyone can already see all the posts the bride is sharing on social media.
A smaller group chat for your core loved ones or everyone invited to your bachelorette party might be better.
It can be super awkward to leave a group chat you dont want to be in anyway.
Theres a fine line between being proud of your achievements in life andbraggingabout them.
A few high-quality updates about your wedding journey might be better than a constant flood of details and decisions.
Heres what some other readers had to say about the entire bizarre situation
Thanks!
