Would you expect to be a guest at a wedding if you and your partner broke up?

| No, you don’t go. That would be strange, and why would you want to? |

| And who are these “other people?” |

| Call and say “ I’m sorry I won’t be there” and send a small gift. |

| No you don’t go. You will not be friends with these people post breakup. |

| It depends on if the invitation was addressed to John Doe and Larlo Smith, or to John Doe alone. |

No, it really doesn't. Larlo Smith only knows the bride/groom because of John Doe. Even if the bride and Larlo developed a friendship, it was built on the foundation of the bride/groom's friendship with John Doe. John Doe is now probably bringing Jane Taylor to the wedding of his longtime friends. Larlo now needs to do the mature thing and send a small gift or a card and gracefully step out of the picture. |

| OP, you say “mutual friends”. Have you been in contact with these people since you and your boyfriend split? |

| You are not invited. You were the plus one of the actual friend. |

If we had been close to the bride and groom as a couple, to the point where I’d consider them friends too, I would not go to the wedding (even if I’d been invited by name or whatever...it would just be awkward and I would not want to detract from the couple). I like this suggestion though. I think it would be a classy move to send a card and small gift on your own, with a note about despite what happened you wish them the best and hope they had a wonderful wedding day. |

John Doe cannot legit bring Jane Taylor instead of Larlo Smith. If it was John Doe plus guest, that's fine. OP (who is Larlo Smith in this scenario) can bow out if she wants to, but her ex does not get to sub in a new +1 if someone else has been invited and named on the invitation. |

THIS. I'm trying to figure out why this is even a question. Who are these crazy people that's telling you that you're still expected to attend? Is it the Bride or Groom? I bet the answer is NO. His friend is getting married; you were ONLY invited because you were his girlfriend but now you're not. Why would you even want to go? |

| Wow you people really do not read! I said I was not planning on going. The only reason I'm asking is because friends if friends were asking if I was going |

Um, to which you reply, "No, but I hope it's great, and I wish Tim and Jennie the best." Why is this a thread, again? |

Pretttty sure one phone call to the groom and John Doe will be bringing Jane Taylor to the wedding. |
