[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not going will solidify your estrangement and will take your sister from saying you're close to moving her into the estranged pack.  Is that really what you want to do?  I just don't see the payoff here for making such drama - because you know your absence will cause drama.  If you truly care for your sister, go to the wedding and go to the reception.  If you need to leave the reception early, then do so.  But don't blow up your sister's wedding just because you don't like some of your family members.  It isn't fair to your sister.[/quote]

I disagree. I think OP can RSVP no and send a gift and sweet note. Going causes plenty of drama. I don't think it is blowing anything up if OP declines. No need to explain. I would just make a harmless excuse. Sister already knows about estrangement. It will just cause you stress and money to go and you can just spend that money on a gift. People get themselves way too worked up about these things.[/quote]

You don’t think it blows things up to decline to attend your own sister’s wedding?!?!

Unless SHE has done something to purposefully hurt OP, or unless her family is in dire financial straits, it is a HUGE and hurtful thing to miss your own sibling’s wedding.  [/quote]
