    Friend from college is getting married in another state. Having just found out the date- I realize that my husband and I will be out of town with his entire family during this time. (this is also our proposal anniversary- we are going back to where he proposed). I was trying to see how I could make both trips, but that would be pushing it a bit.
    Do I tell her now I can't make it or closer to the date? I could send a gift with another friend heading that way... (although she attended my wedding- she didn't gift us anything" I can at least send her some drinking glasses.... what do you think?

    I think if you know that you ARE invited and that you won't be able to go you might as well tell her now. That way she can invite someone else in lieu of you if she wanted to.

    You have plans, and that's it!  I would give her a call and explain to her that although you would love to come, you have already made plans for that weekend and you can't change them.  Tell her that you are sending a gift and will be thinking about her and you can't wait to see pictures.

    She didn't give you a gift?? That's crazy. I'm not sure I would attend her wedding, esp because you already have plans.

    That sounds like a great idea. She sent me a message this morning about the hotel prices and if I wanted one... so, I figured I had better inform her now that my husband has already made plans...

    You have given a very reasonable answer. I will have to just tell her and the sooner the better, because she should know that she can give my space to someone else.

    I just know my husband & I have been looking forward to our trip, how I wish her wedding date was on another weekend, but it isn't so.... gotta make a decision.

    Yeah, I had two showers- one bridal (everyone invited my family, husbands family and both of our church families and friends.... it was HUGE.

    Then a girls on lingerie shower thrown by my bridal party.

    And then the wedding and reception. She did however, make it to the wedding and the reception. And caught the bouquet. no gift LOL
