Sending Invites to People Who RSVPed "No" to a Save the Date

Susan, on September 9, 2014 at 11:54 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11

I emailed out my Save the Date and there are several people who RSVPed that they can't make it and also some friends have told me they can't come. Do I still send them an invitation? I feel like I should, but I don't want it to be misconstrued as me just wanting a gift.

    That's a good question. I'm sending out invitations to people I know aren't coming so that they don't feel excluded.

    I would, plans change so they may be able to attend now. it gives them the option and lets them know they are still wanted.

    I didn't for some (co-workers) because, I figure they are not coming, so why send an invite that will just get thrown out and you are spending money to have these things printed or I printed on my own. Then you buy stamps to send it and only to get a NO like you had expected. Now they did ask about my bridal shower, so even though they didn't get a wedding invite because they told me they couldn't make it to the actual wedding, they are coming to the shower.

    We still went ahead and sent them anyways, since they are invited to the actual wedding (even though they already told you that cannot make it). They may be cool with you not sending them the actual invitation, but I think it can prevent future possible fights (like they can't come back to you and say that they never got the invitation and therefore didn't go.)

    Send them anyways. Everyone who gets a save the date should still get the invitation. Plans may change.

    I was kind of wondering the same thing. Except in this case we haven't even sent the STDs out. We've told a few friends our date and one person said he couldn't come because he was already going to have to fly to the states a few weeks before for his sister's graduation. Should we still send him the STD and the invite?

    I had one of my friends do this and I told him I'd still send him one anyways. I doubt his plans will change since he is getting deployed, but I just want him to have it.

    I wouldn't. To me that would imply that they forgot my No RSVP. They know the date and if plans change, they can reach out and let you know they are able to come. Or I would include an insert into their invite to let them know that although you know they are unable to come, you wanted to include them by sending out an invitation as well.

    I would do it. Things can happen and plans can change. It would suck if their plans changed and they are now planning on coming to your wedding but don't get invited.
