From bridesmaid to uninvited: Woman slams bride for making rude invite mistake

A woman has asked the Internet for advice after she claimed her friend made a seriously rude wedding invite mistake.

Taking to online forum Mumsnet, the woman explained that her high school friend is getting married next year, but in the past 12 months, she’s gone from being a bridesmaid in the wedding, to being completely uninvited.

“When she got engaged a year ago she asked me to be a bridesmaid and I accepted but didn’t hear anything about it after a few weeks,” she wrote.

“I didn’t think much of it as originally she’d asked seven of us to be bridesmaids and now she’s only having three – so assumed she realised it was a handful having a larger group / more expensive.

“No worries, it’s not personal she’s obviously just downsized and selected closer friends/family members.”

However, she then noticed on social media that the bride had been getting her wedding invitations ready. And while she was expecting to receive hers in the mail shortly, she saw that other mutual friends had already received theirs.

“Still not received mine but again I thought the wedding isn’t until early next year so maybe she’s sending them out in bunches?”

However the shoe dropped when talk about the hens night started.

“The group chat has resurrected and a date for the hen do confirmed,” she explained.

“All the hens discussing how excited they are and how lovely they thought the home made wedding invitations are. Everyone has had an invite but me!”

While the person was asking other Mumsnet users for advice, she got plenty of responses from people saying the bride was out of line and being ‘rude’.

“It is very poor form to be invited to the hen do but not the wedding,” one person wrote.

“To be asked to be bridesmaid then not to be bridesmaid with no explanation is odd to begin with,” another persona added. “But to now not ask you to the wedding but expect you to go to the hen do is not only rude but weird!”

Some however did come to the bride’s defence, highlighting that it may have been an honest mistake and she should ask her about it outright.

“I would assume this is a genuine mistake / lost in the post issue. Can you not just ask bride-to-be,” one person said.

“It’s probably gone to the wrong address,” another wrote.

“Ask her. It maybe an honest mistake.”

That’s one very awkward conversation waiting to happen.
