Bride offends family members by getting their names wrong at wedding

A bride has offended several family members after two very big details were missed in their wedding invitations, which was shared by her disgruntled cousins.

The problems began when the bride sent out the wedding shower invitations and only intensified when the guests in questions read the details of those invitations.

One of the cousins explained on Reddit’s ‘Wedding Drama’ thread that the bride is the “baby of the family” from a “second marriage” and is much younger than the rest of them.

“I got an invitation to her wedding shower addressed to my maiden name,” the cousin wrote.

“Other family members also got invitations in their maiden names as well.”

The cousin added that they felt confused as they had been “married over 15 years”.

“My other family members have been married about as long or even longer,” the post continued.

“Does she not know our actual names? She could have easily asked my mum, grandma, or aunts for this information, or even me directly!”

The invitation not only had the wrong name but only invited one child, despite there being three children in the family.

“She obviously doesn’t know the names of my children either or how many I have. Again, she could have easily asked for this information,” she lamented.

To make matters worse the bride then made a controversial request regarding gifts.

“Third, the invitation had a note saying the bride only wanted cash,” the cousin explained.

“She did not include any kind of registry. Some of my relatives, like our grandma and aunts, really enjoy picking out a gift to give. So they are insulted at the request for cash only. She also did NOT specify the cash was for something like a honeymoon or house down payment.”

The cousin concluded that the bride’s invitations had “managed to make most of the family mad for one reason or another”.

“I’d already decided I wasn’t going to the shower or the wedding, as I said we’re not close. But I was thinking of at least sending a card with money, along with my congratulations. Now I’m not sending anything and I’m okay with that,” they added.

Redditers were on the cousin’s side.

“Her invite list is clearly just a money grab. Gross,” one commented.

“Return to sender, no one here with that name,” another replied.

One Redditer joked: “Send her a card, spell her name wrong, wish her a happy birthday and include a fiver lol.”

“Send her a cheque with the wrong name so it’s hard to cash? I’m not usually a petty person, but I feel like disrespect of a person’s name is a bad line to cross,” another suggested.

“My husband has a difficult to spell name, even before we were married or before friends met him they managed to get his name correct on invitations. It really is the bare minimum!” one Redditer shared.

“I love petty revenge, I was going to suggest 10 one dollar bills,” commented another.
