Hi all!
Having a bit of a crisis I’m sure everyone faces when planning. When my fiancé and I set the rules for plus ones we agreed that we would invite all partners who are married/life partners and then only invite the boyfriends/girlfriends who we actually know. For example one of my cousins has a long term girlfriend who I see quite often at family events and get along well with so we wanted to invite her. Another cousin has a girlfriend who I have never met and I haven’t seen him in years so we didn’t invite her.
My aunty has now come to us saying it’s unfair we didn’t invite her sons girlfriend (who I didn’t know existed until she sent me this message.) I explained to her that it’s nothing personal against her we just really can’t afford to invite everybody’s partners if we don’t know them. It’s the same rule for everyone.
She came back with “if you can’t invite everyone don’t invite anyone. She feels left out. Very disappointing”
I guess my question is was this rule fair? I ran it by several guests whose partners I wasn’t inviting and they all were fine with it. Should I just suck it up and invite her? I don’t want there to be any bad blood but it feels to me like she is being quite rude and I shouldn’t give her what she wants as a result. Sorry if this is such a basic boring wedding problem it’s just gotten to me lol. Thank you!
