A family friend is getting married this weekend and I was not invited. I'm fine with it...I know weddings are expensive and we're not that close and on top of all that I can't afford the types of gifts this couple wants.
My sister (a bridesmaid) decided to call this friend and tell her that I'm dying to come to her wedding now the friend thinks that I'm begging to go. My sister and I have issues because she wanted to buy a home together and I was cool with that until she went and got a realtor and picked out a house that we would be purchasing together all on her own without including me....I backed out (of course) and she's held a grudge ever since. I have 3 other invitations to other engagements this weekend (one of which is another wedding), if this friend sqeezes me into her guest list and I don't go, I'll be hated on and if I do go, I'll be putting myself in debt just to get a gift. I'm thinking I should call her and explain what's up but I'm not sure if that's the way to

I agree with you...call the bride, tell her you heard what happened and you wanted to let her know that in no way did you expect an invite to her wedding and tell her you already have commitments and couldn't come anyways. She will appreciate it and not hold a grudge against you. And then tell your sister to mind her own business.

Just call her and tell her that you really don't mind if you're not invited because you know how expensive weddings can be. Tell her that your sister misunderstood what you were saying and that you have other obligations this weekend.

I would call her and say hey I know my sister called and she was trying to help (don't make it sound as if you are just blambing her) since you weren't invited but you have other things that you have already commited to.
Let her know that you really appreciate her listening to your sister and considering this, and don't sounds like the bad person. Just simply say that you have other plans but thanks.
