The approach taken by the family led to a rather unfortunate situation, wherein the mother of the bride openly announced to the guests who were not invited to the wedding.
Miss Manners acknowledges the insensitivity behind the family's actions, affirming that inviting someone to a shower and then flaunting the wedding invitation is inconsiderate.
The suggestion from Miss Manners to resolve the discomfort is clear: if such social events become awkward or uncomfortable, it may be best to excuse oneself from them.
After the tension arising from the shower, the absence of a clear gift policy for the reception created further misunderstandings about expectations and relationships.
