Thanks ladies, it's nice to hear that I'm not over exaggerating the disappointment.
My bridesmaids have now sent out proper invitations in the mail, so we'll see how that goes. They sent them on Friday, and haven't heard back from anyone yet though, but that could have been because of the public holiday messing with the mail.
You are right Neils, if they don't come, good riddance. At least I will have the people there that really care about me.
After the first lot of disappointment, I was pretty set on NOT having one, and doing what you did and just going out with my bridesmaids, but they convinced me to have one. It would be nice to have everyone there, but we will see.
Yes Selena, it is pretty shitty behaviour. Especially when one of them is one we went camping with on the weekend in their new camper trailers. It turns out we were not even sloppy second choice, it was about 4th or 5th choice, and they only really invited us because they wanted someone to camp with them in the rain!!! They are brand new canvas tents, so they need to be wet really well to make them waterproof, and we were the lucky ones they picked to get wet with..... not very happy about that! It was only then that she said "oh I never got back to you on that, did I?" NO you didn't....
The silly thing though is that our Tupperware parties rock, we have so much fun, our organiser is really awesome. But it wasn't just that either, we were going to continue on after the Tupperware and get bang on it
Those silly straws and veil are just ridiculous and I would never use/wear them, my bridesmaids should know me well enough to avoid that!!!
Oh well, what happens happens, if no one decides to come then I'll just go out with the girls and the rest of them can go get stuffed!!!
