Destination wedding

My friend is having a destination wedding (in Europe in May 2020) so her wedding invitations have gone out already to give guests ample time to plan. She has received some “no” rsvps back already. Do these women that rsvpd no not get invited to the shower because they can’t make the wedding? Is a “no” to a wedding invite a final answer for everything related to the wedding? We don’t anyone to think it’s being gift grabby.


Thank you!

    So long as they are invited to the wedding, they can be invited to the shower, even if they have RSVPed no to the wedding. Some of them may want to celebrate with you, even though they don't have the money or the time to attend the wedding.

    I know I couldn't afford to go to Europe for anyone's wedding. She should expect ample (no's). I do still think they should be invited to the shower to celebrate with the bride though.

    I'd invite them to the shower. If I couldn't make a wedding, I'd still try to make it to the shower to make up for it!

    Yes they still get invited to the shower. I think a lot will still want to come to the shower as a way to celebrate even if they can't make the wedding. I have some older/sick relatives that will only be able to make it to the shower due to travel constraints.

    If you only invited those you thought would possibly make the wedding, they can be invited to shower as nearest and dearest. But if you invited couples where you know the man well, but hardly know the woman, she should not be invited to the shower. Just as in a regular local wedding, you don't invite everyone. Only where you know the woman well.
