Just Said Yes June 2019

Wedding guest during covid

Cara, on June 8, 2020 at 4:56 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 13
Hi All,



My husband's friend is having a large wedding in a couple of weeks in a state where large events are still prohibited. I'm wondering if anyone else is in this boat? I'm a rule follower so I hate the idea of going despite the laws in effect.
Thanks!

    I would have no trouble at all declining a large wedding at this point for personal health reasons, no matter what the local laws stated. Add in breaking the law? Thanks, but no thanks.

    I think this is a decision totally up to you. If you aren't comfortable going, don't go. Especially if neither of you are in the wedding. You can always celebrate later!

    If you aren't comfortable going then don't go.

    "I'm sorry, but for to the current pandemic restrictions, I do not feel comfortable traveling and attending a wedding at this time."

    I agree with PPs, if you're not comfortable with going it's totally ok to say no and just send a card or gift instead.

    "No" is a complete sentence. If you don't want to attend, simply check/click the decline box, no explaination needed.

    Fellow rule follower here! They actually may be relieved if you and others don’t attend and maybe they didn’t want to “uninvite” guests. We don’t know what August holds for our county yet and I feel so bad having to cut our list if we have to. On the other hand, if they aren’t following the gathering guidelines, probably aren’t following any (masks, washing hands, etc.). I would not go either if I were in your shoes. I agree with you!!😷

    A decline to the invitation is simple. No explanation required. If your husband still wants to go then he can RSVP for 1.

    I agree with everything Katie said! Politely decline and consider sending a gift.

    This.

    "No."

    They know it's against the rules. The venue knows it's against the rules.

    That wedding may get a visit from the local authorities...

    For me this will not be hard for me to no go at all. I love to follow rules and it's a reason why they say no large gatherings at this time.

    Honestly they shouldn't be surprised with the no RSVP.
