Rehearsal dinner drama with family
My husband's brother is getting married soon. My husband is the best man. We just found out that I am not invited to the rehearsal dinner. We are flying very far for this wedding and will have no car. What is your take on this situation? I am really upset but Its been awile since my wedding. Has this ettiquette been changed with inviting a spouse who is a family member? My husband says he is attending the rehearsal but declining dinner because he feels it is ridiculous and a wife should be automatically invited.
Re: Rehearsal dinner drama with family
Are you kidding? That really is a smack in the face, it isnt like you are a casual friend, you are family~ Holy shiot I'd be furious! Your H is 100% right and he should also give his brother a call and let him know how FU'd this is!

No, the etiquette has not changed. That's very rude. I think if the person is invited to the wedding w/ a date, regardless of it being a spouse, fiance, girlfriend, etc - the date should be invited to the RD. ESPECIALLY as you are traveling to be there.
Kudos to your DH for skipping the dinner. (But, he shouldn't make a stink about it. Just keep it simple. Decline the dinner and if asked, all he needs to say is that he'll be having dinner w/ you.)

To make sure I'm being clear - there is nothing wrong w/ him saying something about how he feels you should be invited, but I caution him about "speaking his mind". If he goes in angry and yelling, he may only make people defensive.
if he does in calmly and just says "I'll be having dinner w/ hazel. I'm actually upset that she isn't invited. I'll respect the decision, but I'll also be declining" is fine. It might make whoever made the decision re-think.
But if he goes in w/ "I CAN'T BELEIVE SHE WASN'T INVITED", hackels may go up and feet may be dug in even more.

Sara, Friend?
glove slap. I don't take crap.
When I was younger, my bff got engaged. I got a hotel for her wedding (it was over 1 hour away). She told me that my boyfriend (who was going with me) would not be invited to the RD. She tried to spin it as a "groom's parents dont have a lot of money, they need to watch their budget, etc."
But then the RD was in a banquet / conference room in the Marriott. I was still thinking "oh, you had to exclude the (OOT) dates so you could throw a "classier" RD?" It wasn't just about my BF - I just felt that it was wierd to have dates eat alone in their hotel rooms.
