What's Love Got to do with it?

Planning your daughters wedding comes with so many new adventures, they are not all good! You have bonds with family and friends and think this is the perfect time to get together and celebrate.

You start sending out the save the dates and people are excited for the news. You start planning the event and asking for addresses for the invitations that were not correct on the save the dates. You get nothing, no response! You give more time, email, Facebook request, call and leave a message if you have the number. Nothing! You move on, maybe you loved them more than they loved you and they don't want to be involved.

For my baby girls wedding this was not the case, exactly, however, when we sent out the invitations to the wedding and the invitations to the shower we got some family and dear friends who did not respond, ever! They never told us they were not coming to the wedding, ignored all of the requests asking them if they got the invitations and never showed up to anything.

It was one of the hardest years because of this! These are people who loved her and us! So When planning your daughters wedding remember Love has nothing to do with people and their responses.

We thought they were not seeing the invitation, maybe it went to another rouge address, maybe they were trying to decide and needed a longer time to respond. But when we were talking to them and ASKED them about it, NO RESPONSE! Ignored the question!

I was glad they did not show up on the wedding day, as they would not have had a place to sit, but it still really has me stumped!

I am still bothered by this, I will not have those people on the guest list for Princess daughters wedding, but I really would love to know the reason behind the lack of response and unloving way they ignored the invitation.

Do they think you are looking for another gift? The wedding is expensive, you are inviting people you want to share the day with you! The married couple in our circle doesn't get what they put into the wedding in terms of dollars in gifts. Its not about the gifts! It's starting their new life together and having people share the beginning with them!

When planning your wedding try not to be upset when your loving friends and family don't respond, it will make you feel bad and they are probably not aware it hurt you.


Have you planned a wedding with your daughter? What was it like? Did you have anyone not respond to your invitation?
