Re: Is it rude?
Many people have issues with budget or “limits on hall” and this effects their guest list. At the end, when push comes to shove…family and CLOSE friends are always given preferance.
That being said…if someone didn’t invite me, that means that I’m not their “family” or in their “inner circle”. And if I’m not in their “inner circle”…that means they’re not in mine either. I would never bother asking “why” I wasn’t invited. Since I’m not that close to them to begin with…it wouldn’t matter to me that much.
Now…if it’s a close related family member that doesn’t invite you to their wedding (ex. 1st cousin!)…then that’s a whole different topic.
