You definitely made the right decision. It would be nice if your sister realized how ridiculous and alienating she's being before the wedding, but from everything you wrote about her, I doubt she'll have that epiphany. In the end, she'll be the one missing out by not having her family there to celebrate with her.
I'm sorry it had to come to that, but you made the right call. Your sister is an awful bridezilla troll. I hope you enjoyed that ice cream! What a good way to cheer yourself up. At least you won't have to bear witness to that shitshow she calls her wedding!
Ugh - I'm sorry you're dealing with this drama, but I too think you made the right call to step away. It'll be better for you & Baby Landon's (love that name!) health in the long run to avoid all of this stress during your pregnancy. You can have a meet & greet (or sip & see, or whatever those parties are called!) after he's born.
I agree with all PPs about the Save the Date. I think people would be super excited to receive two notices like that in the same week - I'd be thrilled for your family with all the good news. No one would think more of your invite than hers. And newborns don't steal the spotlight at weddings. They sleep the whole freaking time. People might come over to take a peek, but it's not like the kid's going to be running across the dance floor all night or sitting in with the band. Good grief.
Hugs to you, mama. You made the best decision for the long run. Hopefully she'll realize how dumb she's being.
