Asking Eric: Why wasn’t 20-year-old invited to family, ‘adults-only’ wedding
- The aunt received notice that her sister's daughter is marrying in the fall and she was offered reception-only attendance after being excluded from the ceremony.
- The hosts limited who could attend the ceremony by enforcing an `adults only` rule that excluded the reader's 20-year-old daughter, while seven bridesmaids will outnumber ceremony guests.
- R. Eric Thomas, columnist, advised readers to `think of the reception not as lesser, but just different` and noted the ceremony-versus-reception gap is `probably only an hour, maybe an hour and a half`.
- The reader is weighing sending a gift or skipping, but Thomas warns skipping likely won't avoid offending her sister, and she may upset her by sending a gift.
- She plans to drive several hours to attend only the reception, upsetting relatives who worry about tension since the reader is close to the bride for the fall wedding.
