Last minute invitation

Lifestyle Relationships
1

Maybe this is just some silly idea I have…

but when a friend of yours gives you an invitation to her engagement or wedding or maiyoon or whatever tickles her fancy - ONE WEEK before the event…are you to assume that she really doesn’t want you there and she’s just going through formalities, so that you dont dont ever say - oh what a girl, doesn’t even invite her friend to her own engagement, how unislamic, blah blah blah.

Ai, so many things in life now are blah blah blah.

2

depends.
Did she meet you somewhere by chance and invited you?
or did she call or send a card?

3

called.

4

I would go anyway without a gift and call it even.

5

hmmm, I ll be honest with you, I think its not proper to invite some one like this, especially if she s a good friend of yours.
So I think the formalitys or her parents/or some one u both know told her to invite you aswell :slight_smile:

sorry to say this :flower1:

lol

What about uninvited guests.It always happens to us!

7

well, its not me only. she's doing this to the whole college group.

but all the other memon girls got the invitation early for the mun mithai she did the first time around - last year. This time, she's pulling the same stunt.

8

hmmm she might have a reason for it..

Would you look at that PCG I remembered my screen name from way long ago.

There's a lot of things missing in the scenario that you should consider.
She's a cheap-o memon everyone, will get a phone call.. only a few will get the call before nine (because she probably has unlimited nights and weekends on her cellphone)

And do you remember the moo-mithai, it was totally unorganized and things didn't start rolling till midnight (no one came until midnight)

I don't think she has full control of what's going on with her pre-marriage stuff.. so all in all go, we'll get her a lame present from all of us.

And that's it

10

lame present? ah that sounds a bit more enticing.

  1. Don't judge based on how prepared these folks seem. They're never prepared. Our memon organization WILL start the memon eid dinner precisely at 10 - stuff food down our throats at 11. And then rush us out of the hall by 12 - or well, attempt to. And they wont be able to because of all the fobby little memon boys who can't stop hitting on the girls. Then the memon association is going to be fined for staying in the resteraunt past the time given to them. Then our membership fees will go up to cover the cost.

Memons, like most other pakistanis, are never organized.

  1. Memons are always cheap. I am cheap. But at least I have the tameez to give heads up to the parties I throw well before they're thrown. And usually, they are just that. Thrown.

free food

12

^ That is true. And I am a poor college student.

13

u should go anyways.......its all good

14

Atleast she called you and invited you.
Recently a got a by the way invite for an engagement party. The girl told my friend to bring all her friends. I know the girl. We're not buds but acquaintances. I felt VERY AWKWARD going. Till the last minute I was very iffy about going but my friends convinced me to go. I hate getting btw invites or last minute invites.

15

You should go. maybe she just has been busy. Afterall, she IS getting married.

16

what is a memon?

17

You should go since she has invited you now, it would be kind of rude not to go. Plus, who can resist free food, go and have fun !

18

That's exactly what I'm talking about Rukhsar.

Sara: Its a type of ethnic group in South Asia.

To catch up the events, she managed to catch me on Eid despite me dodging her. Ah well. I guess I'll go. Can't really avoid it - the party is almost next to my home.

19

i think memons are basically mohajirs. Not sure. PCG, am I correct.

20

usually when food ends up being free, it's only coz it tastes like crap ....hmmmmm

it's really funny and sad at the same time when at a wedding , desis will rush to the buffet line, just coz the food is free..as if they're ghareeb and can't afford to eat at home or out
