“NTA
“I’m sorry you have decided not to attend. We totally understand and we’ll miss you”
I was at a wedding (pre Covid) where two little brats unplugged the DJ equipment mid first dance then threw the cake table over and ruined the cake. Their parents did nothing until the bride had security show them out and the mother went on a screaming tirade about the bride being “anti-mother” and “women don’t support other women” cavalcade of crap. The bride billed her for the cake, part of the videographer and asked for money for part of the photography because obviously there weren’t pictures of the cake cutting, etc.” – This bride knows how to handle entitled parents!
