Guest not coming

If they don’t want to come because of a concert then they can just go to the concert. That’s ridiculous.

Your wedding is important and valued by you both. They can cut their losses if they choose to go to the concert instead and miss your wedding day. At the end of they day they will look bad and not you guys. Also, you will have all your other guest be there and the people that love you the most will be there to share in your joy. Don't change your date for the people that are willing to miss your wedding especially for a concert.

If they don't want to come oh well their loss. Don't stress over it, not everyone will come to your wedding

I’m sure you’ll enjoy your wedding just as much without them. Not everyone invited will come. Don’t change your date because of them. You can’t please everyone, it’s impossible.

Don't be sorry about people who cannot or do not want to be there. And don't be mad at them either. It is an extremely important day for you. But from cousins, sibs, friends, over time people often feel, of the 20 weddings I will be invited to in 5 years ( or whatever) this is not one of those they will plan around. It does not mean they do not care for you. It is one day to them. Leave it at that. See them after the wedding and show pictures. Same as you will for the people you cut from your list due to numbers. You are still friends.

If they don’t want to come that’s on them. They’re the ones who are going to look bad. I’m a firm believer that people make time for what’s important to them. You and your FH decided that that date was and that’s what matters.

Did you plan your date after they had already purchased concert tickets? If so, I understand where they're coming from, concerts are expensive and a lot of times, while you can sell your tickets, you're probably still losing out.

If not, and they purchased after you already set a date, then that's them being selfish and disregarding you.

Either way, at the end of the day, you can't force anyone to come, you can't accommodate everyone's wishes for your day, and no one else will be as excited as you and your fiance, so make it the best day for you and don't stress about who will and wont show up.

These people are shiwing their true colors and are telling you how much they care about you and your future husband.

Seriously girl: I wouldn't miss people like that on our wedding day.

People who trully love you and your partner will be there for you unless,of course, they have a serious and valid reason to skip it.

In this situation both my partner and I would stop talking to them.

I am very sorry! All concerts were postponed last year and maybe they had previous tickets for a now rescheduled concert. Bottom line: we feel like our weddings should be the center of the universe and even those near and dear to us don't always feel the same way. I don't agree with PP that you should stop talking to them, but maybe tell them you're disappointed they can't come and they'll be missed. If they realize your date is set in stone, they may have a change of heart.

People can’t make weddings for a lot of reason. It’s okay if they don’t come. It is not okay for them to ask you to change your date, and you should absolutely not do that. Just say you’ll miss them but understand if they have a prior commitment.

That is not a reason for you to move your date nor do they get to ask you in the first place. If they don’t want to attend, that’s on them.
