A Slice of Cake, A Dash of Drama
So, here we have a wedding reception turned invite distribution center, a bride and groom left out of the baby shower guest list, and a family rift that’s as deep as the frosting on the wedding cake. The bride voiced her feelings, only to be met with defenses about saving postage and family traditions. The daughter-in-law even claimed to have handed them an invite while they were cutting the cake! The question now is, who’s really at fault here? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this sticky situation… ️♀️
“NTA. Tacky to announce pregnancy at a wedding and just as tacky to hand out invites to another event. Even moreso when not everyone was invited!!! Didn’t we all learn in grade school not to hand out invitations in public if everyone wasn’t invited?! If they didn’t know it was wrong they would’ve mentioned it first. Not saying anything on the day was fair – they didn’t deserve any special attention and I would guess DIL would then sadly and loudly play the victim for how you were jealous/spiteful/mean or whatever.” Tacky is exactly where my mind went!
