Invitation to friend you know can’t attend

I am still sending invitations to a few family members and friends who I know will not be in attendance. I know they’ll appreciate the gesture, and I think especially since you sent a STD you should send an invitation. You have enough, so you may as well!

Yes invite go out to everyone who got the save the date.

I would definitely still send them one! Just to let them know they’re still welcome if plans change, etc. ☺️

I agree with PPs! Go ahead and send them an invitation since you've sent them a Save the Date. They'll be touched that you still thought of them!

I agree. Send it because things can change.

They are adults who know their own mind. They said they cannot come. To deliberately ignore what they have said does not show much respect for them. Haven't you ever been really annoyed that you made a point of telling someone something important, and days later they act like they never heard a thing, or they could not be bothered acting on what you told them? They cannot come. It was very nice of them to tell you well in advance , so you can plan your numbers, maybe invite someone else. Acknowledge that, and don't send an invitation as though you did not hear a word she said.

It's still nice to send an invite, as their plans may change. And if their plans didn't change, it's still nice to get the invite. I've recieved a few save the dates, where I told them I couldn't attend, and they still sent me an invite. I enjoyed receiving the invite, seeing the style they picked and kept it as a keepsake.
