So I got a wedding invitation..

At the bottom it said:

“Your presence itself is a gift. We don’t want any gifts at the wedding.”

So.. I was confused so I read over it again, and I’m still confused.

I mean.. am I invited or not? 🤷🏻‍♂

You're being told you must attend - it's not a choice you are allowed to make. To me personally I would not go out of principle because it should be up the recipient to choose to go (or not) and might require a lot of re-working of other personal and/or work arrangements.

I've never been to a wedding, been invited to one, or had one of my own. Weddings to me are a joke because they are only ever 100 pct about the woman and the man is just an 'accessory'.

@zonavar68 I disagree. As it says, "Your presence itself is a gift" But its still optional to turn up. Although Zoneys point is well taken. The "occasion" is all about the ladies. I think the obligation only sets in if you are a family member close enough so your absence will be taken as an insult..😷
