[quote=Anonymous]I'm familiar with dealing with South Asian aunties. I'm polite, but I try to go direct to the source, rather than deal with their cattiness and insinuations. Why not just ask the bride, since you grew up with her? She'll probably be more straight-forward. I know parents like to feel like they can call the shots in desi weddings, but I wouldn't placate that. Just be open with her, don't spill who's mom said what, but say something like: "hey friend, congratulations! we received an invitation, and just wanted to clarify and get your input on what you feel is best. we respect your wishes either way about which you'd like us to attend, and are excited for this new chapter of your life. we'd love to attend wedding/reception/mehndi/etc, but respect whatever you and fiance are thinking. Congrats again!" [/quote]
