 |
|
|
| We have invited a couple (who are immediate family) to our wedding, who has since made it more than clear that they have no intereest in being cival or adult towards the bride. The groom has attempted to find out where the problem lies, it seems that it is a brother rivalry dating back over 15 years. How can a wedding invitation be retracted? |

You just be up front. this is your wedding and you need to make sure you have a great day, you don't need to be spending the day waiting for WW3 to take place. You only get one chance at a wedding so it is not like if this one is a disaster you can do it again another day. All the best to you and your partner  |

| My suggestion: Be forceful, if they wish to be uncivil at someone's WEDDING, you need to make it perfectly clear where your loyalties lie. Uninvite them, even if it means fueling the fire. There is no easy way out, and not even a brother's rivalry should come between them on a day that will happen once in a lifetime! |

| Call them and just tell them that if they cannot be civil and make the day a happy one for everyone, you ask them not to come. |

| There is no easy way but being point blank:Since it is the brides day, be frank with the couple and say, "obviously you have a problem with the bride and will undoubtedly cause a scene to make her feel uncomfortable on her wedding day, so I am retracting your invitation in the best interest of the family. If you decide to show for the wedding you will be escorted off the premise." |

| Call them and talk to them frankly. It is upto them to understand the situation and save the situation. |

| Just call them and tell them the truth. It is your wedding, and if something do happens like a quarrel, then your special day will be down the drain. |

| Did you know there was a problem when you mailed them an invitation? The problem can be resolved very easily . . Send them a note telling them that "they are no longer welcome at your wedding and/or reception. Please do not come."And then send this note three (3) different times, a few days or a week apart, so they cannot claim they did not receive the retraction.Answered by: A Certified wedding specialist / A Professional bridal consultant / A Wedding ceremony officiant |

| Wow, you poor thing.I'm assuming they're immediate relations of the groom? If I were you (the bride) I would sit down with the couple and have it out with them, ask them what you have done, why they are acting this way and then if they can't come up with a reason why they would treat the bride like cr*p when its supposedly "brother rivalry" and you're obviously not a brother - I would say to them, Its our big day obviously the groom wants you to be there but I don't want you at our wedding if you're going to cause a scene, not only will you upset me, the groom but you will also upset my parents, his parents, the grand parents and all the other guests. Please if you think you're going to do this, stay home. |
