Declined on STD...Send Invitation?

I say no. They have already let you know they cannot make it.

They are telling you flat out the won't be coming.

I say no too. Why waste an invitation? I'd send the invitation to someone who wants to go

If you have invites to spare, I would send one anyway, and maybe even stick a note in there saying "I know you can't make it, but I wanted to make sure you know that if anything changes we'd still love to have you there!"

Yes. Still send it. Otherwise you're technically uninviting them, which is no bueno. And you never know, their plans might change.

I dunno..I probably still would (if it was someone I was really hoping would come) just because you typically send the STD out like 6 months in advance, and then the invitations only weeks in advance...plans could have changed or something? I would probably just still send it but counting them as a "no"

I agree with kris still send an invite a lot can change from the std and the invite

I agree with Kris & Maggie.

Maybe they like to save invites. I would still send one just incase. I agree with kris, you never know.

I did, they are on my invitation list and I thought if they made it there, they deserved the courtesy of a real invitation. I know some of my family and friends have been grateful to receive it.

Also my save the dates were an e-vite, so I wanted to put something more formal out there.

Yes you still send them an invite...things can change in the time frame of getting the STD to getting the wedding invitation.

I still sent them an invite even when they told me they woudnt make it from the STD. I still wanted them to know that they were still invited.

Having a DW we pretty much know who is coming and who is not, but those who aren't still wanted all of the details. I knew my grandmother and aunt wouldn't make it but I am still sending them out.

I did. I wanted to let those people know we still loved them and would love for them to come if their plans changed.

And I don't know about you, but some of the ones I heard weren't coming were through the grapevine, they didn't directly tell me. So i didn't want to insult them by uninviting them if they didn't know that I was told they couldn't come.

I already know that most of my family can't make it (they're throwing me a shower so at least I get to see everyone and it'll be a party...not exactly the same though) but I'll be sending everyone an invitation anyway.

If you have enough invitations then you might as well. Perhaps they can make it to your shower or maybe they'd like to send a gift (which is traditional what someone would do even if they can't attend) or they could find away to make it after all.

I say send an invite. I had some tell me they couldn't come based on the STD and they got an invite and ended up being able to come after all.

We have several that we know will not make it, even before sending the STD's out. But we still sent all of them an invitation anyway. It just seemed thoughtful to me.

Thank you for all of the feedback.

Send one. Especially if they are eldrely/something might change.

My step-grandparents were a NO due to the fact they didnt think they could make the 3 hour drive. I talked to my grandma yesterday and she thinks my grandpa MIGHT be ready for the drive by my wedding and is making a very speedy recovery from hip surgery!!!!

I sent invites to everyone who declined the STD, no one changed their mind, but I received a few phone calls from folks who appreciated getting an invitation.
