I think the 3 tiers take it to another level.

Main point was about expecting your guests to do the admin though.

always thought it was because i can absolutely land a humorous speech but i’m non-threatening to grooms with a good head of hair.

imagine knowing you’re a c-tier guest and having to be hyped about how nice everything is if you have the misfortune of talking to the crappy couple

Imagine continuing to bother having contact with someone who considers you a group C friend? Just why are either of you bothering? Free up some time and move on with your lives :joy:

Really find it wild how some people go to weddings almost every weekend every summer. How are they close enough with enough people to do that?! I’ve only been to about 6 weddings my whole adulthood. (Most of those were just reception)

They’re group C’ers operating outside a pandemic! Times have changed

what’s much weirder is if you get a ‘You’re one of the important ones’ invite when you’ve always considered yourself, at best, to be vague acquaintances (this is what accounts for way more weddings than anyone should be invited to - suspicions abound you’re kind of bumping up the numbers)

Are we saying a group B person would only be invited to the reception? I think I’ve been invited to slightly more weddings where I would be in the cut off zone with a limit of 30 guests, which I would think of as group B, but I’ve only been invited reception-only once (to someone I barely knew, but was friends with other people in her friendship group and occasionally got invited to their group stuff. It was in the middle of nowhere and I gave them £20 as a wedding gift. within 6 months she’d unfriended me on Facebook. cheeky cow.)

I would be very insulted to learn that my Good Friend Barreth considers his mother to be a more important guest than me

That’s enough humble bragging for one thread xylo :wink:

hah genuinely (while the rest of it WAS a bit of a brag obvs) that last one is def an odd thing. i think sometimes people end up not really knowing who to invite to weddings but don’t want tables half empty or something. like i’ve had ex colleagues who i KNOW for an absolute fact didn’t like me still… send me an invite. but why. (i obv did not go).

still very bitter about one
