He told us all that he knew we probably wouldn't be able to make it, so he'd be having some sort of get together here in Chicago, as well. Of course, he sent an invitation to the wedding anyway -- with his registries printed on it. How gauche. I should just donate in his and his boyfriend/husband's name to some charity as their gift from me.

Look at it as an announcement. Some people like to keep those things as momentos. Just check NO and send it back. Send a card if you care. Or don't.

You have no idea what a headache it is when people don't respond. I don't care of you're coming, but if you show up at the reception expecting dinner, it would be nice to get a heads up. And a print out of where the happy couple is registered? That's so wrong. I'm fielding phone calls for that shit. People call and ask where they're registered. You never add it to the invitations. Why not just send out a damn bill?

But just wait until your daughter starts getting calls a day or two before the wedding, greatest hits such as: "Even though I said I couldn't come, I can make it now, add me in" "I can't get a babysitter, sorry, I can't make it" Now, these might cancel each other out, until you get: "Do you mind if I bring my neighbor/friend/girlfriend/8 kids?" And then you'll have the people who just don't bother to show up. And yeah, the registry thing is incredibly tacky. Brace yourselves. As for this: Hi, I know but I know for a fact they know I won't be in town. It's not all about you. As someone else mentioned, it was a courtesy invite. Politely decline, and don't feel the need to send a gift.

Do I have to actually show up for this thing? It's not fun anymore. If anyone wants to come to a wedding,. we seem to have some empty seats. We're obligated to pay for a certain amount, and now it looks like we won't hit that mark. Stupidly, we tried to keep it small, and now it looks like we're getting our wish. I'm talking really good food, and the best damn cake you've ever eaten. Win/win.

Then, all you should do is send a nice card afterward to congratulate them. You are never required to give a gift. And if they complain later that you are a cheap bastard for not sending a gift or check, you can sit on your throne of self-righteousness knowing they are gauche.

Did you ever think that maybe they sent you the invitation because even though they knew you would not be around, they didn't want you to feel left out. OR, they forgot you were going to be away. Or they don't care. Seriously, at this point, I'm pretty sure they are not thinking about you and don't give a shit. Why are you just getting the invitation now if the wedding is in August???

If it is someone you haven't seen or talked to in a long time. However if you want to be nice you could do it. I sent a babygift to a first cousin of mine when she had her first. I haven't seen them in a long time, but wanted to congratulate her. I was very disappointed when I never heard anything else about the baby. Only through other family members. I was at least hoping for a picture.

I got a save the date magnet a few weeks ago, and it's a giant fucking magnet with the bride's over made up whoreish face taking up the entire thing, and her fiance off to the side covered in shadows. Apparently, she's not proud of him. Why would I want to put this giant monstrosity on my fridge?

It was out of courtesy. Just send a check and a card saying you wish you could've attended and shut the fuck up about it.

Her husband-to-be is a prop 3. The save the date card looks like the cover of a somewhat sinister Harlequin romance novel
