If you’ve ever had to organise a wedding,
you’ll know how incredibly difficult the
guest list can be.
Do you invite that uncle you haven’t seen in
10 years? It’s a question many couples ask.
But usually you can guarantee your closest
friends and family will make the cut – that
is, if they act like they’re your closest
friends.
One bride-to-be sought advice from
strangers on whether she had made the
right decision after uninviting her ‘only
friends’ – who also happened to be her
bridesmaids – from her wedding.
Posting on Reddit , the 21-year-old
explained how she has had the same small
group of friends since middle school and
have lately been growing apart but they
‘still talk all the time’.
The anonymous bride admits that they’ve
alway been “kind of flaky” and hadn’t even
bothered to show up to her 18th birthday
party.
Now that she’s organising a wedding, their
actions are hurting her more. She wrote:
‘My friends haven’t really changed their
ways. I tried to get them to come to an
engagement party, but only my fiancé’s
friends showed up.
‘I tried to get them to throw me a bridal
shower, but they didn’t, and my mother and
aunts ended up being the ones to throw it.
‘I tried to get them to come to my
bachelorette party, but my sister/maid-of-
honor told me that they weren’t really
communicating with her on it. Which is
twice as heart-breaking because they are
bride’s maids. (sic)
‘The final straw was when I asked them go
dress shopping with me. I told them I really
needed them to be a part of this with me
and we all agreed on a day to do it.

‘Fast forward to that day and they all
cancel on me. One of them doing so an
hour before my appointment. I asked my
mom to come with me and sister at the last
minute, and it was a nice time, but I really
wanted my friends with me.’
After speaking with her fiancé, the couple
decided not to have anyone at all attend
their wedding, but when her friends were
indifferent about the decision, she admits
she finally ‘snapped’.
‘That’s when I finally broke. I was so mad
that they weren’t even the slightest bit
disappointed in not being my bridal party. I
sent them a message in our group chat
basically saying “since you don’t seem to
care, I’ll take you off the invitations.’
‘After a couple of days of them freaking out
over text and me not answering their texts, I
cooled down and realized that I had
basically un-invited my only friends from
my wedding.
‘I feel terrible. I want to re-invite them and
make amends, but I’m afraid it’ll just be
another cycle until I snap again.
‘I don’t want our group that had be together
for almost a decade to be broken up
because I had a tantrum. I asked my sister
and she said to ditch them. But as I speak
they are trying to scramble together a
bachelorette party for me, and swearing that
they’ll make it up to me.’
She asked Reddit users for advice and most
of those who commented told her she had
done the right thing as they ‘didn’t really
seem like her friends to begin with’.
