Bride fumes as wedding guests ask for date reminder a week before her big day

A bride-to-be is fuming as some guests have told her she needs to rearrange her wedding as she has not reminded people soon enough that it is next week. The woman took to Reddit to explain that she has been getting messages from friends and family who have forgotten that the wedding is next week, despite invites being sent out two months ago.

In the post, the woman, who decided to remain anonymous, said: "I have been receiving alarming messages from family and friends that I have forgotten to remind them the wedding is coming up. And now they can't take off/come.

"I have sent out invitations 2 months ago."

She went onto say that she has gone to great lengths to ensure the wedding is at the best time for everybody to come and has even had to change the time at one point so she could maximise the number of guests who could attend.

"I understand a Friday wedding can be a bit of a damper in peoples work day," she stated.

"But I have gone to great efforts to make sure my wedding flows smoothly. Now with the wedding only a week away, I have been focused on last minute details."

She has even had some guests in recent days tell her they will not be able to come and that she should push her big day back.

The bride-to-be explained: "Some people are just now looking at the invitation and are now telling me I should push my wedding day back to better convenience them."

Many have been quick to jump to the bride's side as one person wrote: "Wedding 'reminders' are not a thing. You invite people, and generally they RSVP. Guests are expected to note the date and time of a wedding from the invitation and put it in their calendars. I have never heard of this particular insanity before."

While another wrote: "Even if your wedding was on a Saturday night or a Tuesday morning, it is not your responsibility to hold their hands while they work out their work schedule in order to attend."
