Bridal Shower Invite

Adam&Eve2 · February 2013

So I just got an invite to a bridal shower from one of DH's Exes. Hmm...Oh, and it is a like 2 hour drive away. And she and I are not that friendly in the first place.

Really?

Oh good grief. THAT is what I'd call a gift grab. I'd be RSVPing "no" and I'd probably leave it at that. I wouldn't send a gift, and I doubt she cares about getting a card from you.

Yup. Done and done. Lol.

That is super weird.

The only thing I can think of is that the person hosting came across your info and mistakenly thought you were someone else.

Yep, that's a gift grab.

EW. Maybe this is gift grabby of her but I took it as her just wanting to make sure your husband knew she is getting married.

This is what I thought, too.

Sure, this is probably it too. But really- you invite your ex's wife to your shower so that he knows you're getting married? it's gift grabby and just out and out weird.

I wonder if you'll get an invite to the wedding, too. Because that won't be awkward.

We already got a save the date. And their wedding is a week exactly after our wedding anniversary. *Que Twilight Zone music*

That's just creepy. I don't keep in touch with my exes and definitely did not invite them to my wedding.

We did recently get a save-the-date to MH's cousin's son's wedding. He met this guy once when the guy was about 2 and DH was 10ish (based on the picture I have seen). They are FB friends, but other than that have no contact. His parents and grandparents (FIL's brother) were not invited to our wedding due to estrangement (or maybe that uncle was invited but didn't come, one uncle was invited and the other was not, but the cousins were not invited and their kids definitely were not).

Anyway, DH really wants to go. I'm like, "You're crazy. We don't know them. The wedding is in California [we live in Maryland]. And I'm not traveling across the country with a month old baby."

So yeah, I really wonder sometimes about why some people invite other people. Very odd. At least you and YH have something to laugh over.

He actually couldn't understand why I side eyed their wedding date. It's 10 days after ours and combined with everything else it's just kind of weird.

Then there is the fact that when she and her FI were having some issues she started flirting with DH on FB and wanted to skype with him. He stopped talking to her and unfriended her on FB. But then to get the save the date and shower invite is just odd.

I don't know why men can be so dense. But this is starting to sound like a storyline from Days of Our Lives...
