Now our neice is getting married and really wants us there but we know the family will blank us again and we won't know anyone else there. We feel torn about going but would feel really awkward and embarrased for other guests to realise we are family but not included in the 'crowd'. I have the RSVP ready to go with 'sorry, unable to attend' but once it goes, that's it and the war will just worsen! What to do?

If people don't want to come - they won't (and they'll use any excuse) ... or they'll come and possibly be miserable and potentially ruin your big day - so it's best to not "beg" them. LOL As a "Mexico" bride I've had to first deal with the "drug wars" and now the "swine flu" so we don't know what we're doing at the moment. *sigh* Keep in touch and let us know how the guest list (rsvp's) are shaping up. *huGs* S @tiffany ~ I’m sorry to hear that … and as you read above … we’ve had our fair share of disappointments too.

Keep in touch and let us know how the guest list (rsvp’s) are shaping up. *huGs* S

It really was very upsetting but we got over it. It's hard not to take these types of responses personally but we decided that we probably had a better time without "them" there anyway so that's that. Thanks for the topic - made me feel better reading that we weren't the only ones who struggled with this issue.
