I had a ton. Around 20!! It was absurd and very rude, I thought. But it was mostly from my Dad's side and it was half-expected (but not THAT many!)...
This isn't a normal amount of no-shows, is it??
Now... my cousin (from my Dad's side) is getting married this weekend. I already sorta RSVP'd yes but I'm very tempted to be a no-show for several reasons:
1. she was a no-show at mine
2. 4 people from her household were no-shows at my wedding
3. I have a strong feeling that I am going to see at HER wedding many of the people that were no-shows at MY wedding... and that will really piss me off. The reason I think this is that she is getting married at a 'less fancy' place than I did (in my Dad's family's opinion) so they don't feel like they have to get 'as dressed up' or give as generous a gift (ridiculous, I know). I didn't care what they wore or what they gave as a gift -- I just wanted them to be there and it will upset me to see them show for her wedding when they didn't show for mine!
So... would it be SO wrong of me to be a no-show at HER wedding?? She DID come to my shower and gave a gift, so can I get away with just sending her a gift right (which I was gonna do anyway)? I didn't attend her shower.

I am still upset I had two co-workers of mine that didn't show and ask me questions about my wedding, and I say if you were there maybe you have know, how my wedding went. Planning a wedding is very stressful. I had 2 OOT guess that responded and didn't show up and I had my dh family who I invited with their husbands; their husbands didn't show.
People just don't realize that a wedding is very expensive at least if you know your husband's will not be attending they should call the bride. I am sure they have attended ,weddings before.
I am very upset with one of my friends that introduce me to my dh she didn't show at the bridal shower and didn't show at the wedding after 15 years of knowing her she did to me. She call me the day wedding trying to say sorry. I said there is no excuse if care about me you would have attended. What I discover about people they are very jealous .

Re: How many no-shows did you have?
2 no-shows for us. It was a couple from OOT, Connecticut in New Cannon. She was my former junior high school teacher. I've never heard from her until our first Christmas together to receive a Christmas card from her. She claimed her car broken down which required a new engine or whatever part taking 2 days to get/fixed. She was driving from New Cannon, Connecticut to NYC. Whatever, it took 4 months to hear her excuse/explaination for their no-show which they do NOT have the courtesy to e-mail, telephone, fax, snail mail it to me. RUDE.
