As you get older, getting invited to weddings and baby showers becomes inevitable. Once you hit 20, Facebook notifications come in from childhood friends, college acquaintances and relatives. It's bad enough being forever alone but the realization of becoming an actual adult soon follows. Here are 30 thoughts on being invited to your first wedding:
1. OH, MY GOD!!! NO WAY! I can't believe they're getting married!
2. I'm so excited to see everyone! I've always wanted to go to a wedding.
3. Wait, does this mean I have to buy a new dress?
4. Wait, do I have to buy them a wedding present...?
5. Can I get them like a ten dollar thing?
6. I should probably call my mom to figure this out.
7. 100 DOLLARS FOR A GIFT?!?!
8. I didn't even get a new outfit yet.
9. What the hell am I supposed to buy? Like a lamp?
