“This couple sucks. They sound competitive. Does it clash with your wedding time? I can guarantee you that more people will want to go to a wedding than a baby shower, especially knowing this nonsense they pulled,” one person wrote.
OP shared that the events “did overlap for sure,” but that their mutual friends who had RSVP’d for the wedding attended that event and skipped the shower.
“I don’t believe for even a minute that they were too busy to note that the dates coincide. Even if you don’t keep the wedding date top of mind, and surely why would they, you know the month,” another commenter noted. “A quick check would have verified the date. They chose to ignore all common sense and went ahead knowing they were forcing their friends to choose one over another.”
“They didn’t forget about the wedding date, hubby was sending him texts regarding him attending the wedding so they definitely knew,” someone else wrote. “Once the baby comes they will probably not attend a lot of the friend’s activities. Good to know your actual friends attended your wedding.”
“D—, that’s tacky as h—. They knew d— well what date it was, sounds like they’re the ‘steal their thunder’ types,” another person shared.
“That is a douche baggery move…I wouldn’t make plans EVER again with them… but that’s just me,” someone else commented.
