We’re here for the audacity
Sure, we understand that weddings are expensive deals and not everybody can find themselves on the invitation list for one. It’s totally fine to let people know that you’re getting married, present them with a wedding card, and respectfully inform that that they cannot be accommodated in the guest list. However, it is just not cool that you still expect them to cough up money or presents when you didn’t even invite them to your wedding! They couldn’t care less how beautiful your honeymoon is… Please spare yourself some embarrassment!
