    Im getting so bloody fed up with one of my 'so called friends' I have a group of best friends..and there is 4 of them...3 of them are great and atleast get back to me asap when I ask them things about the wedding..I've got 1 of them..who in 20months has never even come to see my child once, ignores every text I send, every book of face message... and I had told the other girls that Im not inviting her to the wedding for them reasons.... I then upped my guest list to 50...and provisionally put her on the list as I had room..but Im starting to have second thoughts again...I've set up my hen night, and everyone has paid their deposit but her!! I havnt heard a peep from her at all....but apparently shes mentioned it to one of my other friends..saying she doesnt understand what it is im doing... its getting ridiculous.. Im not turning in to a bridezilla am I?

    Its just fustrating, because even though she ignores me....shes quite pally with the rest of the girls..we're all meant to be 'good friends' but I cant understand why she would ignore me, I've never done anything to her!!!

    Rant over...

    I would be equally annoyed. You can't include her in things if she never responds so I personally wouldn't bother. It doesn't sounds like she acts like much of a friend to you at the moment anyway so if I was you I would stop making the effort if she can't be bothered to. x

    The issue is...when I see her..shes all larrdy dahh..and everythings rosey, and she does the whole ''ill have to pop over and see you next week sometime'' and it just never happens... I can take the fact shes not the most fabulous friend...but i cant stand being ignored... Thing is... my other friends were subtley always asking if id decided if she was coming or not yet...they never told me I should invite her, they kind of know the line....but I know they want her there so we're a group...but I just feel really uneasy inviting someone who is so crappy and ignorant.. lol

    Can u not call her and tell her how you feel?

    If she doesn't respond to that then when you go out as a group bring up your wedding.

    If she doesn't want to go to your hen party or doesn't answer your txt she might not respond to your RSVP if you do invite her x

    It's your guest list and not their's. Can they not function w without her? Will they not show without her?
    I know that it is easier said then done but I wouldn't worry too much about this. She obviously can't and won't make the effort. It isn't worth giving her free rent in your head.

    Well Ive confronted her once about not coming to see my son once since he was born.... and she done the whole ''im such a rubbish person, im sorry'' but shes done nothing to correct it since... your second suggestion of talking about the wedding when we go out as a group...that ALWAYS happens anyway..and she doesnt get as involved as the rest..and come to think of it is probably a bit reserved about it...but I always thought that was because she felt awkward knowing she isnt worthy of at my wedding... luckily my hen night is whereby each person pays off their own balance online..so i wont loose out if she doesnt pay up..its just should I really be inviting her to my wedding when she does this?

    She sounds like a "good time" friend rather than a good friend. I'd only invite her to the full do if there is no one better to invite. You could extend an evening invite to her in compromise. If you have talked about the wedding a lot in front of her it would be rude not to. I just wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't show.

    I was originally going to just give her a evening invite so she wasnt excluded completely.... she would deffinetly still turn up if I did invite her to the day..because the rest of my mates would all travel together... so it wouldnt be me trying to find out where she is... its just the moral whether to invite or not...im seeing them all tomorrow so we'll see how it goes

    It's annoying me more because I spoke to one of the girls last night about it, and they don't understand how bad it is... I don't get any agreement from them...they just say hardly anything about the whole situation which annoys me. We are all supposed to be going out tonight and I've found out the girl I'm annoyed about has invited my best mate over to get ready at hers..so it just irritates me because she's obviously got time to arrange things, and it annoys me that my best mate doesn't even nudge her in e back about my wedding etc.... It's making me feel like I don't even want to go out later with them all

    I guess to sum it up, I don't know what to do as my numbers have to be 50 for the day....and I know that this girl even tho she's getting n my nerves ATM and perhaps doesn't deserve a place at my wedding...well I know she will turn up... And we haven't really got anyone to put in her place....so don't now whether to just leave it and invite her as it won't make much difference to the financial side...

    Sometimes friendships just go separate ways, it looks like you have moved on, grown-up and are getting your life exactly how you want it, maybe this girl just isnt in the right space herself at the moment to appreciate what it means to be adult friends.
    To me the distance she puts between you two seems like she isnt that much of a friend, almost just like someone you know.
    Could she be slightly jealous of how your life is? Maybe she feels that distancing herself (not replying/visiting) helps her deal with things.
    I'm rambling, sorry.
    I can be a bit abrupt when dealing with people that have upset me and so I would just ask plainly how she feels about you and the wedding, maybe its just all too much for her. And yet maybe having it out will make her see what a good friend you are to her by keeping the contact going all this time.

    Good luck with however you decide to handle it.
