Invite rsvp

Jade, on October 15, 2019 at 6:32 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 14
I received a save the date to a friends wedding a while ago. The wedding is in 3 weeks and I was thinking I was no longer invited because I never received an invite. I just realized that it was probably sent to my old address by mistake. Should I reach out or should I wait and see if she does? I’d hate to assume I would be receiving and invite (even tho I got a STD) and then be in an awkward situation.

    You should never receive a save the date if you're not invited to the wedding. I would definitely call and inquire about that before it's too late (if it's not already). Especially if you changed addresses, like you said, it could have been sent to the wrong address. It's better to call rather than wait and miss out.

    I'm sure she would appreciate you reaching out so you can RSVP! If not I'm sure she'll be reaching out soon to find out why you havent RSVPed!

    I would reach out. If she sent a save the date and not an invite, she’s the one being rude, not you.

    Nothing is wrong with calling or texting your friend to see what they say its an honest mistake mail people do all the time if she's okay with it i would go and enjoy yourself

    She's probably sitting there saying to herself, "now why hasn't Jordyn RSVP'd yet?" I'm sure she has no idea that you didn't receive your invite. I would just send her a quick message letting her know that you got the STD, but no invite, and you're concerned that it went to your old address and was never forwarded.

    I agree! It might be awkward, but reaching out is the best thing to do!

    We actually had 4 couples not receive their wedding invitations at all and we definitely sent them (thanks USPS!). They did get our Save the Dates, though, so luckily they knew we weren’t BSing or suddenly uninviting them (which by the way, is an incredibly classless thing to do, outside of any extenuating circumstances). I was so happy when a few of them reached out to let us know because we were able to send them new ones and obviously apologize for the mail mix-up. I see no harm in reaching out! I’m sure they’ll appreciate the heads up, and could help them spot check some other people who they haven’t heard from yet, to confirm whether they also didn’t get their invites.

    Message her. People send Save The Dates to people they want invited. So don’t worry, call her.

    This exact thing just happened to me. My friend had given me her address where I sent the STD, we recently met up for lunch and she told me she had moved a few months back. I realized I had sent her invite to her old address and asked her if she had gotten it, she hadn't so I re-sent it to her new place. It's absolutely possible that they sent it to the wrong place, you should reach out and mention the move.

    Exactly this! She’ll appreciate not having you in the no answer list later on.
