We just come from different worlds. Vivien Send a noteboard - 05/04/2011 08:14:32 PM
Why should a family member you don't know well, beyond knowing you neither like or respect, be more important than a close friend you have known for twenty years?


Pretty much any family that is alive and in the US is super important. Family to me means people who love you unconditionally. Friends come and go but family is forever. It probably makes it easier for me that I don't have a large extended family, especially in the US. I'm assuming we're talking about family members that you see regularly when it's someone's birthday or wedding anniversary or anything like that. If it's a family member you don't see more often than once a year, then yeah they don't have to be invited to the wedding.

She wouldn't be dramatic there, that would be fine. - 05/04/2011 05:11:47 PM 748 Views
If you don't want drama, don't invite family. Seriously, listen to the voice of experience here. *NM* - 04/04/2011 04:07:42 PM 361 Views
you are not factoring in the drama of not inviting family. - 04/04/2011 04:32:51 PM 669 Views

In your opinion. For me, as an example, it is the people I care for and respect that matter. - 05/04/2011 10:26:53 AM 591 Views
