Friends of ours are getting married and, the woman is having a Bridal Shower 2 weeks from now. The guests on the man's side of the family have decided all, through the man's mother, that they are not coming. They waited until now to say this. They planned on 35, now there will only be 17 or so people showing up. The hall is already booked and of course the dinners/meals etc. Many items of preparation have already been completed, such as gift baskets etc. It was suggested that they no invite these people to the reception and only the wedding. The man has no idea why they aren't coming but we believe they just do not want to drive the 3 hours. There are feelings hurt and money lost throughout this issue. What would you do?
--------------------
Not inviting them to the reception seems petty. They are going to inlaws (hopefully) forever. I would take the high road - try to cancel the dinners. If you can't freeze them- during the wedding week no one will have time to cook. Save the gift baskets for treasured relatives and present them at the wedding.
