OK, I have a friend getting married in December. In Sydney. As yet, I haven't received an invite to the wedding, and I'm a bit antsy to book flights. Here's the facts:
* She and I have been friends since Year 7, went all through high school together.
* He and I have been friends since I was in Year 11. They met each other through another mutual friend.
* They both came to our wedding in December.
* I currently see her once or twice a year.
So, do you think I'll get an invite? Is it OK to come right on out and ask her? (I don't think I can) I'm spending two weeks in Melbourne at year's end, so won't see my family (in Syd) for Christmas, so I'm happy to make the trip anyway, but would probably choose a different w/e if not invited. What do you all think??
Some people do send out wedding invites about 6 weeks prior. My friend did that but she also had told people who would have to travel that they were invited and gave details so they could book flights or time off work at least 6 months prior.
What I suggest is when you talk to her next, simply ask if the wedding invites have gone out yet. If she says yes and nothing else, then you know you are not invited. It gives her an opening to say either nothing or make her realise that you have not received it and Aust Post has lost it (not unusual! I have had 2 go missing).
Yeah, a few of our engagement invited went missing too! I don't think she'd have posted them yet, we're still 10 weeks out, or so.
We had another really interesting situation earlier this year. I was talking to a friend about someone who invited herself to our wedding (complete with the phone call to say "So, what time does the ceremony start?") and this other girl was saying "God, I would NEVER go to something if I hadn't got an invite" Meanwhile, her engagement party was 2 weeks later, and we hadn't got the invite, so just didn't go. When our friend found out, she was devastated that we thought we hadn't been invited (or she acted really well!) but remembered the conversation! We laugh about it now.
Am I invited?
