Feeling a little hurt

Don’t be hurt! It can be disappointing but the people who matter and care about you will be there

There's a strong possibility I will have one friend at my wedding, maybe 2. I wouldn't take it personally. I am sure everyone has their reasons as to why they cannot attend. I hope that you can use the money saved towards something great!

In hard financial times this can be expected. Don’t be upset or worry about it.

The way you feel is totally understandable especially if they're loved ones! People also have a wide variety of reasons not to go, but if you have any other people you have in mind,if frees you up to invite them, or use the money to make your wedding a little bit more decorative!

I had the same issue. And it’s tough but I try not to worry about it. I only have like 18 family( and 5 are like SUPER distant relatives), and 3 of them are my bridesmaids. I have about 15 friends. My FH has like 54 family and 20 friends. He only had 2 family RSVP no, and 5 friends say no. Seeing my people be the daily “not attending” has been hard, but my friends and family aren’t in the same financial situation as my FH’s are, and we are also getting married where his family lives. Just keep reminding yourself that it has nothing to do with you, because it doesn’t! It has helped me a little along the way!

It's a bit early if your wedding isn't until July. Did you already have your RSVP deadline?

That’s the point of an RSVP, there’s an option to decline. Everyone can’t make it, that’s just a reality.

View Quoted Comment We sent them in January and final payment deadlines are coming up so we are inquiring from those we haven't heard from so we can budget accordingly and I know that what rsvps are for so people can decline if need be it still stinks because its mainly people I invited that are declining lol

I'm sorry you're having a strong decline percentage. Im still really far out so haven't experienced this yet. I agree with what others have said and those that are most important will be sure to be there. It's nothing against you, there are a multitude of reasons that could prevent them from coming.

All my family from one side said no and I don’t have much to begin with. At least half my family on the other side is coming bc they are wedding party lol!
i feel you it hurt me too, but I’m not going to fret about it. Just enjoy that those who can will be there and you know that your loved ones will be there in spirit wishing you well from afar
