If a guest rsvp'd no to my wedding invite are they still invited to my bridal shower?

Why have you sent invitations for a wedding that is a year and a half away?

You send out separate invites for bridal shower

What? Why did your invitations go out already?

Huh? My wedding is more than a year before yours and I haven't even sent out invites yet

Budget & Guest List first before all the parties & let your wedding shower host(s) deal with this.

Why would you send out invites for your wedding so early? It's still a year and a half away....?

That's why, generally, the bridal shower is held before invites go out. Those who are invited to the bridal shower should be invited to the wedding. I've never heard of someone sending out wedding invites before the bridal shower.

No I didn't send any out. I was having a conversation with my best friend and that was a question that came up.

Disagree with Mrs.Seipp.......... it's not at all uncommon here for wedding invitations to go out 6 -8 weeks before and the shower be 4-6 weeks before.

PS............I see that this is a DW............is that why you sent out invitations instead of Save the Dates?

@Midwest may. Yes it is a DW but nothing was sent out yet, just was a question that was in my head. Thanks!

Their plans could change, you never know (especially because it is a year and a half out). Until you've actually sent out official invitations and have gotten a no, don't count her out. If it were me, she would still be invited to the shower and get an invitation for the wedding.

Ok thanks so much @libbylane

You can still invite him/her to the bridal shower. Just be sure to also send them a wedding invite (even though you already know they won't be coming).

My shower invites went out before my wedding invites...but now having some RSVP card back for the wedding, the people that declined the shower also declined the wedding

OH. Well, if that's the case, I would definitely still invite them because their plans could change in a year and a half.

@Midwest, I see what you're saying. I feel like at least MOST of the time the bridal shower happens before invites go out, but that's just based on my experiences and friends. Overall, I misunderstood OP's original post, so it's all good.

If the timeline is a normal one (your friend's wedding, and not your wedding that isn't happening for 18 months), I would take a formal "with regrets" as a final word on a wedding. If they aren't coming to the wedding, I couldn't invite them to the shower because I wouldn't want to appear gift grabby.

That's what I was thinking @the centerpiece flowers

Wait so your best friend can't make the wedding? You def should still invite to the shower. I would still send an invitation to the wedding too, things change.

Everyone i know have sent safe the date 2 years ahead of time, sent invites during the year before... the bridal shower was like 3 weeks before the wedding...

depending on the couple they might send invites for wedding like a year before or a few months ahead. everyone is different.. we already have an idea but not perfect of how many people we are inviting... we want to keep a specific amount but its stressing us out cause i want him to let me invite a few more friends that im very close to since he has soo many he is knows but i don't

I couldn't attend a wedding in NJ but I was still invited to a shower the Bride's Seattle friends threw for her.
