This is more to vent than anything, but can you believe a close relative returned the whole invitation, enclosed photo etc...no markings on the RSVP card etc. Said they weren't coming in an e-mail because the destination was an imposition and expense to all the guests. Then had the gall to say the couple should just elope if it's such a big show....
Also said some stuff about it not being sacred. I was so upset and my daughter is beside herself feeling like she did something wrong. I never told my daughter everything written in the e-mail because I didn't want her to feel worse. This was totally unforseen and we didn't do anything to deserve it. Apparently since she has to travel 1700 miles to get to us and 250 more miles for the wedding destination, it was the straw that broke the camels back... What a control freak. Maybe jealous...I chewed her out about the e-mail, but now with the invite sent back...should we just consider the source and ignore it. She had sent it back before I even had the chance to talk to her about the e-mail since it arrived in the mail the very next day after the phone call. My daughter got an e-mail from her ssaying she'd send it back so she could send it to someone else since it looked so expensive...My daughter told her to keep it as a momento but she sent the whole kit and caboodle back. I don't think I'll be ever sending her another invitation to anything ever again. Any advice? I feel it was the epitome of rude! |

Hello and welcome to OW!
That is rude, for sure. But my advice is to just move forward and ignore it. I had a destination wedding and not everyone was all that keen on it - but I did what I wanted anyway and the people who didn't want to support it (also not sacred... If they didn't want the invitation, cool, one more for you all to keep for yourselves as a momento. And one less person you have to invite to future events. Best of luck to you and your daughter. And again, ![]() |

I agree with Gwen.
Don't let it worry you.I'm sure your daughter will have a beautiful day without this person being there.It's her loss!!If thats how she feels then it's proably better that she doesn't come to the wedding. I hope everything works out for you guys!!!!! |

i agree w/ save paws.... that was just beyond rude. It seems to me like a scream for special attention from you. If it was really about what she says it was, she would have just checked no and sent it back.
She wants you to beg her or make her feel especially accommodated by helping her out... don't do it... ignore the attitude and the rudeness. She will figure out how dumb it was for her to decline and that's not the way to get attention, and probably ask again for an invite last minute. and if she doesn't, you don't want that type of negativity at your wedding anyway.

i agree with all the other girls! if she is capable of making a scene like that now, she is also capable of making a scene at the wedding itself, so it's probably a good thing it happened now, so she won't do it at the wedding and ruin your daughter's day. definitely ignore her, as was mentioned before. because i agree, it does sound more like she wants attention. when i was reading your post, my thoughts exactly were "why didn't she just check no?" the post before me said it perfectly. it's not about her not coming, it's about her wanting attention from you! and that is totally rude! you don't want anyone like that at the wedding anyways.
it will be a perfectly beautiful day for your daughter without her! reassure her of that! |

That was pretty rude! I agree with the others. I would just ignore it. If she doesn't want to come it's her loss. You and your daughter will have so much fun on the wedding day that you will forget all about this!
