My ex-best friend is getting married and I have been invited by her sister to her bachelorette party in Vegas. The thing is, the bride and I were best friends until I dated her brother, had a baby, and now we are engaged. She chose to no longer be my friend and we have never truly hashed out our differences, we speak probably once a month and usually it is about my son, her nephew. My fiancé wants me to go and so does their older sister. I am over our issues and I have no problem going but as it's her party weekend I want her to be comfortable. Even though our issues have been swept under the rug after the birth of my son her and I have never connected like we used to. So do you think I should ask the bride directly if she is comfortable with me there ? Should I ask her sister who invited me? Should I even go ? Wwyd?

Hi everyone, My fiancée and I recently found a wedding venue that is perfect. It's a church that will allow us to use their hall for the ceremony as well as the reception hall. We aren't required to pay any fees, just a simple donation. Meaning we're essentially getting the venue for free! (don't worry, we're donating around $500) Everything is perfect but the main hitch is that we won't be able to serve any form of alcohol. Not even a champagne toast =( I was wondering how much of a negative impact this will have. Both of our families aren't shy, but it takes a little bit to break out of our shells. The drinks would've helped with this. I understand and agree that the guests should be there to celebrate us getting married, and not to simply get drunk. We are using the venue regardless bc everything else is perfect. I would just like to know how to deal with the whole thing. Should I put it on the invitations "No alcohol will be allowed."? Should I not have to say anything?
