dextm Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 What's the threshold? What's the criteria? Do you consider going to his/her friend's/family's wedding if you are dating or do you strictly wait until you are in a LTR??? Do you consider inviting him/her to your friend's/family's wedding??? It would kinda suck for both sides to go dateless. 1-month, 3-months, 6-months - does it make a difference? Your thoughts please.
onyxangyll Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 it doesn't really matter how long you two have been dating, as long as u two are exclusively seeing each other. if you really like this person, then go for it. invite him/her to your friends'/family members' weddings as ur date.. and if s/he invites u, then go. it's a good way to meet the people that are important in his/her life and likewise, u can introduce him/her to ur family and friends to see what they think about you two being a couple. besides, weddings are so much more fun if you have a date. even if ur not dating anyone right now, u cud invite a friend of the opposite gender to go as ur date.. there definitely isn't any rule about who you can bring. i went with a guy who i had only been dating for two weeks to his cousin's wedding and it turned out fine; his family was so sweet
pink_sugar Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 It really depends on who's getting married. Say it's a cousin and if you haven't been together very long, I wouldn't expect an invite. It's up to the people getting married whom they want to invite due to budget restrictions or if they want to keep it small. However if it's your bf/gf's immediate family member, I think some consideration ought to be given. One of my husband's friends has a different girlfriend all the time, so we were worried about having to pay for her, but thankfully all the guy friends came solo together. 1
MuscleCarFan Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Hmmm, well honestly if you haven't been together very long, I would not expect an invitation.
Lalah089 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 You should invite your s/o to your family weddings, but don't be disappointed if you don't get invited back. Many couples like to keep their wedding lists short because they are on a tight budget. Make sure you know whether they are willing to support another person before you invite him or her.
Author dextm Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 My concern is not really about the $ costs, it's more of introducing 'x' to everyone who may or may not be with me 3 months later. Since it's not a LTR yet, who knows right? Do I go thru the hassle of introducing? Do I expect 'x' to go thru the hassle of introducing me to everyone?
