Is anyone else running into issues with friends or family members being upset that they're not invited to the wedding? I am shocked at the number of people who are upset they didn't get an invite to the wedding. Most of them are friends we haven't spoken to in 4-5 years, and others are family members that I've never been close to and haven't seen or spoken to in 5 years. These people are coming out of the wood works and messaging me how upset they are that they didn't get an invite.y cousins, whom I'm not close to nor have I spoken to in 5 years, are furious that they didn't get invited. I've tried to be very polite and tell people that we had to keep the guest list low, we have 100 guests. My dad is paying for it alone and I wanted to respect his wishes with the budget. He's the one who gave us a cutoff for guests and I'm ok with that. But these people are vicious! The wedding is in 10 days and this is just so upsetting to me. Is anyone or has anyone gone through this?

I think people tend to think of weddings as a fun party, completely forget about paying for it, and take it personally when they don’t make the cut. It sucks. I had a friend who is a great person, but I haven’t kept in contact with her much (she’s busy so I understand) and who also told me back in the day that my fiancé wasn’t worth the trouble and to move on, say that she hoped she was invited to the wedding. It was a very strange interaction and it made me uncomfortable but I’m also trying to remember she probably didn’t mean it badly. She understood that it was a no.
