  • Woman lying on a gray couch looking at her phone in a living room with pillows and a small white table.
  • A friend of mine invited me to her wedding in 2024. I was excited and told her that I'd put in my time at work to be there for it and offered to help with website/technical stuff.
  • Then she got pregnant which was a happy surprise because she thought she'd never have children :) (baby is perfect in case you care
  • She didn't announce on social media whether or not she was pushing back the wedding for months. It could have gone either way.
  • I didn't hear anything until one day early this year she posted her wedding date on social media and reminded people to RSVP.
  • Woman lying on a couch reading her phone beside an open notebook and pillows in a bright living room.
  • I hadn't received a new one so I text her and asked if she changed her guest list and no worries if so.
  • only needed to know for work and summer travel plans. She said, "Yeah, he wants more of his family to come even though I don't want them to and it's too expensive."
  • I'm glad I asked because I was planning my summer plans around her wedding and would have missed out on a trip for myself. I was hurt but it's her day so I was still happy for her.
  • Fast forward to the past 2-3 weeks and she's been practically BEGGING people to RSVP. It's to the point that she's commenting
  • on other people's post asking "did you RSVP?" I'm talking posts that have nothing to do with her or her wedding
  • I have second hand embarrassment and could not imagine doing that to friends and family especially publicly
  • Woman lying in bed and smiling while reading something on her phone.
  • Anyone else see this go sideways or do people usually end up RSVPing? Her wedding is in 6ish weeks.
  • TLDR: A friend uninvited me to her wedding due to capacity issues and is now begging people on their social media to RSVP.
  • ETA: Thank you everyone for your kind words! Yes, I was hurt by it but she's not my best friend and it is her day. It's not worth starting a fuss when the conclusion is the same - I'm not going
  • ETA 2: It is in 3 weeks! I was way off
  • Strict Research_1876 You don't ask on social media, you contact them directly at this point. Guess she fooled around and found out.
  • Painted Lady1 You were extremely gracious. Being uninvited is upsetting but it's even worse she didn't bother to tell you!!! That's very disrespectful and
  • shocking behaviour from a friend. I wonder if people are skipping her wedding in protest after hearing about the rescinding of invites
  • can imagine that rubs some people the wrong way even if they're one of the lucky ones invited....
  • KBHoleN1 When she reaches out the week before the wedding to invite you, please don't go.
  • Historical_Term2454 I don't think this "friend" deserves a place in your life.
  • Dependent-Assoc423 I just want to say you seem like a reeeallly good, supportive and very understanding friend! She's lucky to have you in her life.
