I have a sitaution

Yesterday was my shower.... there was a friend who was a no show...

background info:

she is a college friend, she lives in delawere. in the past she has came to visit for weekends etc...so the distance is not an issue. she loves to drive.

b4 i was engaged.. She ASKED me who my MOH would be... she said it could be HER ( i wouldve never picked her - not THAT close, but close) blah blah

I felt bad ( she doesn't have many friends, lives with mom, kinds gets depressed easily), so after I was engaged i was going to ask her to be MOH (purely for her), I was also going to have my other friend as MOH as well.

After I got engaged I was calling her.. to aske her.. i left numerous messages, never called back, until like over a month later. when she called she never even asked about the wedding. I got the funky vibe and did not ask her to be MOH and thank GOD i didn't.

She basically dropped off the face of the earth, i figured she was depressed and honestly, she needs to deal with it and I didn''t want her to bring me down during this happy time in my life.

FF to e party in july, she speaks to me days b4 says she is coming, blah blah, then the day of while i was at my eparty i get a text saying she wasnot coming she had her period. .

SHe never wrote, or called to ask how the party was.. nothing. i emailed her a few days later and said sorry you miseed it..it was great, no call back.

SHe called me about a month ago acting like evertyhing was fine she is so excited for my wedding.. blah, blah, I was a little cold but did talk to her for a while.

Yesterday, my mom told me she responded yes, and she never came. angain no call, text email nothing....

LAdies.. help what do I do now with the wedding??? 2x didnt show!!

all my friends are like cut her off!! that's it!!

Can u invite her but not include her in the final headcount... You could have it in your mind that she would be there and have a placecard and what not but if she doesn't show at least you didn't pay for her. I would also approach her about it. Be honest with her. Tell her that you are upset because she has not showed two times and explain that you are afraid she might do this the day of the wedding.

Eh at this point you made the effort and have no fault. Send her an invite and if she shows great and if not then you'll know where you two stand. But you can talk to her before and let her know you were upset she didnt show up, not mad but disappointed.

If you'll be under your minimum then it will be fine if you add her to final headcount and wont have issues. If you are at minimum or over then talk to her before and let her know how you pay for ppl ahead of time, things are different out of NY and she might not know this, maybe she'll think twice before responding yes and not showing up.

Is she a bridesmaid? Or just a guest at the wedding? If just a guest I would invite her and just not include her in the head count that she will be coming...but just invite her for the sake of inviting her.

Personally, I wouldn't invite her. If she started calling asking why she wasn't invited you can either tell her that you didn't want to deal with her saying yes, you paying for her to be here and her not showing up again...or you can just ignore the calls. Either way this is obviously not someone you want in your life...they only look out for themselves and their happiness (hence the 'offering' to be your MOH).

Re: I have a sitaution

Ugh I have a cousin who always says yes and NEVER shows...so I'm kinda in the same situation with her...and if I pay for her plate and she doesn't show for my wedding, there will be a slap.

Anyway, I agree with Espo's advice!

Re: I have a sitaution

It sounds like she gets depressed easily and is jealous of you. Is she that good of a friend to you??I mean this time SHOULD be all about you and she is making it all about HER. That is really NOT RIGHT.

Whenever you talk to her, ask her why she didnt make it to the bridal shower and tell her that you were upset and hurt. If she seems to not care, then I wouldnt bother with her.

I had a problem with one of my bridesmaids. She all of a sudden stopped answering my calls and just didnt care about my wedding, well I cut her off!!!

Theres something about a wedding when you find out who ur true friends are....

UPDATE

I called her today...

she is sick, she sounded awful. which is fine.

I just asked her why she did'nt let anyone know.. she daid she had no voice. i said you couldve emailed. my mom has paid for you once again and you didnt sshow up.

she got nasty and said, I don't need to explani myself to you!!

I reminded her frequesntly, that i obviously wasn't upset that the she was sick and couldn't come. but she couldv'e let soemone know.
i also reminded her that this is the second time this has happend and i am concerned about the wedding.

i also reminded her about how she never called me after my eparty as well.

she said that we wil finish thsi conversation, when she feels better (she was mean and very defensive).

let's see if she calls again...

so now what....ladies?

I was very nice to her FH was right there and he said i was nice. he said don't invite her. i don't need the stress.

Re: I have a sitaution

WOW........... it is amazing how weddings can sometimes bring out the worst in people!!! She sounds like she is jealous of you and your happiness. I think that if I were you I would still invite her to the wedding. I wouldn't count her in the final headcount either. I also would not let this girl ruin your day.
