I was invited to a wedding today that is taking place tomorrow by a bridesmaid.

I do know the Bride, I was like best friends with her in high school but we lost contact once we graduated and its been over a year since.
I wasn’t invited so that kind of made me sad, I mean sure we lost touch but we were really close in 12th grade.
anyways, the bridesmaid invited me and I said I would go but I’m just so scared at how she’s going to react to me being there.
I mean I know I’ll know people at the wedding but still… you know?

If you were invited and the bride knows you then why not go? I would be happy to see old friends at my wedding as long as you make sure it;s not a very small intimate wedding first

Most people wish they could invite a lot more people to their wedding, but can’t because of cost or logisitics. Unless there is some special reason you know of that you would not be welcome, she will probably be thrilled to see you.

Do you think they might have invited you because they don’t have enough gifts? I would not go on a last minute invite. Sounds like they don’t want you to go! Tell them you already have other plans. When they ask what plans. Tell them you’re going to be on help.com talking to littlenick! :)

Good reply littlenick, I would say do not go, it seems she did not want you there otherwise she would of invited you.
BUT…..If you feel like making a point of not being invited by the bride then by all means, go, it could be a laugh to see the bride’s face to see you walking in, (also wear something that would make even the bride jealous)

Anonymous is trying to wreck the big day!

I’d say go with your gut feeling based on the scale of the wedding. If you’ve just been invited to the reception then I think you should go. If there’s a meal make sure you go after that unless you are sure you will have been accounted for in numbers for catering - otherwise that could be embarassing for everyone.

Whatever you do just remember that this is the couple’s big day and you don’t want to do anything that might upset anyone. I imagine they had to make some tough decisions on who they could invite so I wouldn’t be too offended if you’ve not been in touch for a long time.

If you decide to go have a good time catching up with your old friends!

all good reasons everyone. I did decide to go. I will know people there and the bridesmaid promised that I should enjoy myself. I have no clue if there is a reception I just know that I will be there for the wedding itself.
As for gifts. I think I’m just going to bring some money or something, I mean, I have no clue what to get them I don’t even know the groom.
One of my friends actually told me that it makes sense that she didn’t invite me seeing as how we haven’t talked in so long, mostly if there was a small number of people she could invite. and I think he has a point. So I’m hoping that she will be happy to see me. if not, then I have a problem….

Just make sure you wear a dress you can run away in if things go pear-shaped! I’m sure it will be good - enjoy :)
