Apology letter?

Brooke, I'm so sorry for your loss. Maybe just order business cards from Vista and stick in an insert. By all means, do not explain yourself. Just put "Please Reply by April 7th." on them. Hugs!

Can you swap out the current reply cards that read March 7 for some that say April 7? Better yet - can you set the date for May 7? Requiring RSVPs so far in advance isn't reasonable - people often don't get their work schedules and travel sorted until a month out.

As for an apology letter, I would think most guests would know the circumstances and be sympathetic. I'm sorry for your loss.

Brooke, I am so sorry for your loss. I agree with Koch Bride about just a simple business card that has the new RSVP date. There is no reason to explain yourself!

I would say "due to my fathers passing" unfortunate circumstances sounds cold to me.

I'm sorry to hear about your Dad : (

I'm also sorry to hear about your dad. I pray that you and your family find peace in his passing.

Dear family and Friends,

A family emergency has delayed the mailing of our invites. Due to this, please consider April 7th our RSVP deadline. We can't wait to see you all!

Love

B&G

First off, I am so sorry to hear that

For your RSVP date, is there any way you could print on address labels and stick it over the original date? (Might need to do a little cutting)

Honestly, at least I would hope, anyone who knows about your situation would completely understand. In my opinion, I wouldn't feel the need to apologize. If someone questions it, then you could explain, but I really don't think anyone will.

I am so sorry to hear about your father. Is there any way you could just have new RSVPs printed with the correct date? It may not be too expensive since it is just the RSVP card.

If not, I would just cross off the old date and write the new one in with a fine tip marker on the cards. Or stickering over the old card is a good idea as well. I don't think an appology note is necessary.

So sorry for your loss

I think that a business card with the later date would be a great idea and I agree with D on the wording.

Although you certainly do not have to give any reason at all

I'm so sorry for your loss and know how hard of times this is. I agree with Koch Bride about putting a simple business card in. But honestly I would require them to RSVP closer to 1 month before the date. The further out you put your RSVP date, the more likely you are to get no-shows and last minute cancellations.

I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad.

People who you're inviting are understanding of your circumstance. Just a business card with the new RSVP date should suffice.

I think a business card will get lost in the shuffle. Include a note with the wording Superman suggested.

Also, my condolences.

I'm so sorry for your loss *hugs*

I think what Kayla said would be nice to put in the invites.

I agree with everyone else about the note. Superman had good wording. So sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I like the idea of an additional card and I like the way Superman said it.

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry, Brooke, for your loss. That is devastating.

I agree with just ordering free business cards from VP and putting a little note on them. People will surely understand.
