Venting about drama at the bridal shower.

Rosalie, on December 11, 2022 at 9:43 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 2 9

Me and my bridesmaids decided to speed up the bridal shower and everything was well and good until my older sister dropped a bomb on it with her two crazy friends. It was a pretty big event, so I let Jenna (sister) invite some friends of hers. She doesn't really hang out with people who would crash a bridal shower and I know a few of her friends and they are all good people.


I know one of the friends slightly, she seemed nice and then this new friend of hers I didn't know, but once again, Jenna doesn't hang around toxic people. Then, a few days before the bridal shower, when everything was planned out and everybody was invited, Jenna said that they actually don't get along and hate each other. I thought that two grown women could put their petty feud aside for a day.


Except it wasn't just a petty feud. Basically, one of them is going through a nasty divorce and has a child, and the other one is the reason for that divorce. So yeah, Jenna is not the best at communicating. Then I was debating whether to disinvite both of them, one of them, or just hope they don't see each other.


I decided just to let them both come because disinviting them is rude and I didn't want to screw their relationship with Jenna up. Fast forwarding to the bridal shower, all was well. One of them was on the other side of the house, one was in the other. It was going well.


Until one of them happened to see the other one, I'm not sure exactly how they came across each other. Then I looked over and they were just shouting. One of them pushed the other one into a table and smashed a cake. That little brawl went on for like, 5 minutes until somebody separated them and escorted both of them out.


Then I got mad because of the cake and the drama, then shouted at my sister and she has ghosted me for the past few days. And the worst bit about this is that I already invited them to my wedding because my sister said "sure, it'll be great" when putting them on the guest list two months ago. What's next?! Are they going to throw each other across the buffet or something?!


I'm just really pissed off at the two asses who crashed my bridal shower, and my sister who couldn't say that they are in a fight before I invited them.


Thanks for letting me vent.

    It seems partly wrong since the sister's friend probably was not responsible for the divorce but rather it was the former husband. (Okay. It is a bit of her fault too, but just trying to balance the equation a little.) You may not have to follow etiquette with these two. I don't know how to just have one still at the reception.

    If they got in a physical fight and smashed a cake at a bridal shower, you are well within your rights to disinvite them from the wedding.

    You mentioned in an earlier post your concerns about the shower and I'm sorry your worries came to fruition. Being that they're you're sister's friends and you have no emotional bond with either, I would definitely disinvite them both from your wedding. I don't understand how your sister conveniently forgot they hated each other.

    I would most certainly disinvite both of them. And, under the circumstances, I am sure they are both fully expecting to be disinvited.

    Update: Jenna did not actually ghost me, she just changed her phone, so that's good. She definitely agrees about disinviting them due to the bridal shower incident and the cake smashing. I'll have to re-arrange the entire seating chart, but it's a lot better than a wedding fight.

    If your wedding isn't until July, you might want to wait to create a seating chart until you get RSVPs back.

    I agree with the previous comments. I would absolutely uninvite both from your wedding.

    If your wedding isn’t until July then I would wait to do the seating chart until a couple of weeks beforehand. Sorry that all happened, ugh.

    Oh s h i t! Cake smashing? Ugh, that sucks a lot. I'm sorry. I definitely wouldn't recommend inviting them to your wedding.
