Ask Amy: I got an invitation to a pre-wedding celebration from a mystery bride. Is it a gift-grab?

Dear Amy: This week I received an invitation to a “pre-wedding celebration” for a woman I have never met. It looks like a bridal shower invite, but I honestly don’t quite know.

When my husband got home I shared this mystery with him. Do we know this person?

He finally figured out that the woman is the fiancée of one of his co-workers.

Evidently we are going to be invited to their wedding but have not received that invitation. Furthermore, it is unlikely that we would attend.
