So, a friend from childhood has invited me to her wedding. I haven't seen her in 5+ years other than passing and saying hello at a graduation party we both were invited to. She's a friend on facebook, but we don't' even communicate via facebook either. We were pals from church...not BFF slumber party pals.We never hung out much outside of church. I am flattered that she included me.
So....her wedding is 4 1/2 hours away in a town neither are from or live in. Because of previously scheduled vacation a week and a half later, DH can't get time off. He could call in sick, but that would mean there and back in 24 hours, with a baby in tow, and finding childcare for the wedding part in a place no one knows anyone. On top of that, it's driving to the Adirondacks in February...who knows what the weather would entail if we could even go there and back in a day.
There's a part of me that would like to just send a gift and wish her all the best. But there's a part of me that feels like I should make every effort to go because I was invited.
What are your thoughts? I've been stewing over this for 2 weeks.
Re: etiquette?
I agree, a card is enough in this case.
I agree!
This. 100%.
