Received a blatant B-list invitation BY PHONE BY PROXY, what to do?

The kicker is that Couple B did not invite Couple A to their wedding back in May and now Couple B is acting on the assumption that Couple A will invite them to their wedding. Couple A is conflicted because everyone else in our group except Couple B is invited to this wedding. I laughed and said, "oh put them on the B list."

Couple B is totally cray, by the way. And the word "couple" looks weird once you type it a lot.

LOL. I agree with you. Couple B will only be butthurt if they have a shortterm memory. This will hopefully be handled with as little drama and "give a damn" as possible so that people can move on to the joys of married life.

And your point is?

The ridiculousness/"give a damn" problems I've seen and heard about from friends IRL related to weddings:
- Sister of the bride wouldn't show up because she didn't like the groom (for no good reason)
- Parents of the bride wouldn't show up because they didn't like the groom (for no good reason)
- Bride and groom stated in the invite that guests could only attend if they brought a gift that exceeded $150
- a few family members were told they could attend only if they found room for them (at a wedding with over 600 people)

So you're a "B-list guest" (maybe) to a wedding for a couple that you're not that close with, and the mother of the groom is a bitch.

This sounds like a pretty typical wedding "problem" to me

Pickle maker? Seriously?

It's called return to store. (Not you, the couple. They registered for it. If they really didn't want it, they can't carry their butts back to W&S and get the money for the item.)

I can dig it. Tasty stuff. Although it has been done for centuries without a store bought pickle maker.

Maybe a side business.
