Still send invite if you know they can’t come?

Hi everyone! We sent out save the dates and will send out invitations later on, but I had a question! A friend of my fiancé’s is invited, but we found out they now have another friends wedding the same day. Do we still send the invite to them and do we still invite to bridal shower? Thank you!

    I would still send it. But don't be upset if they RSVP no. I always think that sending it, even as a courtesy invite is better than not sending anything.

    See I feel like it’s just the right thing especially since we are both friends with her and like I’d feel super weird not sending anything after us sending her the STD. Thank you!

    The same thing has happened here, we are sending an invite Incase things change. They are also welcome to come to the shower as well. Sometimes things arise that can’t be helped, in our case we understand.

    I am sure etiquette says you should but we did not. The only ones we still sent an invite to were the ones that requested it because they wanted it as a keepsake. Otherwise, we had already been given their reasoning and didn't want them feeling like they needed to tell us no for a second time. Personally, I think it is up to you.

    Yeah I'd send the invitation anyway, and I'd still invite them to the bridal shower. They may want to celebrate with you at the shower even if they can't attend the wedding.

    I would/am.. although I do feel like it is wasting some invitations.. the person that I keep thinking about is my nana who can't travel but will love and appreciate her invitation. I know she will keep it and have it on her fridge and will also expect pictures to be mailed to her so I couldn't not send the invite when she has already said she won't be able to make it.

    Send them. You do NOT want hurt feelings, and trust me, that Will happen! Besides they might surprise you! And then there's always the gift......
