In today’s beehive:

My bridal party lives all over the country so since there’s only 3 of them, I sent them each flowers with a note asking if they would be my MOH/BM.
My sister asked her BMs by sending a DVD of all the wedding episodes of Friends. Very cute.
i wish i would have done something more special… but i just called them up… 2 of the 3 already knew…
but after we had a bridal party get together with the whole gang 
I have a question. An acquantance of mine invited me to her wedding. I was invited to the church part but not the banquet part. We know each other from elementary and junior high school. We are not close friends and we do not hang out, talk online, email,…pretty much not keep in touch at all. My question is, should I attend the wedding?
Thanks in advance!
aim —
it’s always an honor to be invited to witness a special event in someone’s life. however, please keep in mind that it’s an invitation, not a subpoena; if you feel moved to attend, go ahead!
(as for a gift, again — if you feel moved to give a gift, go ahead! if not, what’s she going to do — bill you? ha ha ha … )
Sea, I am glad you asked this question! I am looking for some good ideas myself. I think I am going to do some type of scrapbook/collagey card type thing (so technical, I know) for my oldest friend. It will show us over the years: middle school, prom, college, college graduation, etc. And then I will get a really heinous looking bridesmaid dress and put it on a picture of her
Aim — I wouldn’t start bending over backwards to be there, but if you can make it, why not? And maybe instead of a gift you can make a donation to a charity — or to your old high school or something. They can send her a note to let her know, but she won’t know how much it was for, so you won’t feel like you needed to get a pricey gift.
Wow…that is tacky as h*ll…That screams “bring me a gift, but I’m not going to feed you”….There is no way I’d attend…JMHO though…
No way. Rude and cheap. Why do people feel they have to invite EVERYBODY to their wedding? If you haven’t talked to her in the last two years then - no.
