I got a wedding invitation in the mail today from a coworker (well, former coworker since my last day was yesterday). The outer envelope was addressed just to me and there was no inner envelope. Do you think this means that DH isn''t invited?
Former coworker (FC from here on out) has never met DH, but she knows he exists since we were both wedding planning around the same time. We each were only able to invite 2 or 3 people and their SOs from work to our wedding.
Another thing that has me confused is that the invitation kind of gives the impression that we''re only invited to the ceremony. There''s no mention of the reception. DH thinks we''re both invited and that the invitation extends to the reception because there was a response card included. He thinks we wouldn''t need a response card if she wasn''t taking a headcount for food.
Here''s the invitation wording:
Together with their families
FC
and
FC''s FI
invite you to share in the joy
and celebration of their marriage
on Saturday the twelfth of April
two thousand eight
at two thirty in the afternoon
Summit Assembly of God
Church address here
DH and I will have just moved out of town a week before the wedding. I''d like to come back for it (it''s only an hour and a half drive and we''ll still have the lease on our apartment), but I don''t want to come back if only I''m invited and/or the invitation''s only for the ceremony. In that case I''ll just send a gift or a check.
I know that it''s not proper etiquette to invite someone to just the ceremony, but FC listed her registries on her shower invitations (she also listed herself as someone to RSVP to), so I''m not sure that going against etiquette would be completely out of the question for her.
