My sister wants to use my venue for her wedding but never told me the date. She just sent out invites with my property listed as the location without asking. The day she picked is already booked with another couple who reserved over a year ago. Now my whole family is mad at me for not canceling the other wedding. She says it’s family property but my grandparents left it specifically to me in their will. I’ve offered other dates but she refuses and says I’m ruining her special day. Should I have just kicked out the other couple to make room for my sister?
Your sister should’ve asked before putting your place on the invitations. Pretty bold to just assume you’d be free.
Your sister is definitely overstepping by assuming she can use your property without asking. You can’t just kick out a couple who reserved your place way in advance. That property was passed down to you for a reason, and it’s not fair for her to put you in this position.
Your sister should’ve spoken up. You can’t expect someone to change their plans based on assumptions, especially when they’ve already booked in advance.
She took a big risk sending invites before locking down the venue.
Sounds like your sister made some poor assumptions. She should’ve checked with you first about using the property.
This whole situation is crazy. Your sister can’t just put your property on wedding invites like that without asking. The other couple planned everything well in advance, and canceling on them could hurt your business. Your sister really messed up and now she wants to put all that on you.
