Why did you decline?

We declined when it we clear we were B-listed for an out of state wedding

The only time I've declined is when it was out of state and I couldn't afford to go. I did send a gift though.

Yeah, we declined a B-list invitation once. I also declined one from someone who was barely an acquaintance and invited like 400 people, which seemed gift-grabby to me.

Two of my cousins wedding: 1) she stole money from my sister at my sister's sweet 16 and caused a crap load of family drama; 2) her sister's wedding, I could of gone but a friend ended up doing something for her birthday that same day so i skipped the wedding.

We also declined a NYE wedding that did not have a hotel room block. Getting a hotel room in Chicago on NYE is almost impossible unless planned well in advance.

I declined a wedding invitation from a former neighbor. We lived next door growing up. Our dads are still really close friends (her dad is invited to our wedding), and my brother stayed in touch with her over the years, though they are much closer in age. I wasn't sure why I was invited having not seen her since at least high school and would have felt very awkward attending. I suspect it is because she invited the rest of my family.

We declined because we just have so many to attend. One couple can only attend so many!

But I guess that would be filed under financial reasons.

I've only declined due to travel. I almost declined one this year where FH wasn't invited with me, but me going meant he got to spend time alone with his dad since it was in the same area where he lives.

I've only declined once. It was for a wedding for a friend who I used to be close with, but really don't talk to anymore (no falling out, just lost touch). I had invited her to mine--though I went back and forth on whether I should--and she and her now husband declined without ever saying anything about it. It wasn't like, "well, she didn't come to mine, I'm not gong to hers!" but it just felt kind of weird plus it would have required a fair amount of travel during a busy time at work.

I've only declined out-of-state weddings, because I didn't want to travel ($&dollar.

Besides the fact that I'm working pretty much every weekend day and night, I'm not really that social.

The only wedding we declined was for one of my husband's former roommates that he had not talked to in probably 2 years. The wedding was at 10am with a reception at a nightclub at 10pm in downtown LA. There was also a honeyfund. Yeah, no.

We've declined a bunch of weddings because they were on the same day as a different wedding we were going to, but we've only RSVP'd no to 2 weddings that we could have gone to. Both times they were invites we were surprised to get, from friends we hadn't seen in 3+ years, and going to the wedding would have required booking plane flights

Yep. Right before I quit working at the crisis center, I received an invitation from my coworker, who had invited me to her son's wedding.

I had never met her son or her FDIL. I thought it was inappropriate for the coworker to invite me, since I had never met either of the people getting married.

It seemed incredibly gift grabby to me. I did not attend, obviously.

We've declined before when A) only one of us was invited, even though we have a family together and had been engaged for 6 months at that point B) We were clearly D listed and invited week of the wedding C) Invite stated that the couple wanted cash gifts only, then took it a step forward to ask that if you got a physical gift you also gave the couple the gift receipt and D) We just didn't like the couple. The feeling is/was mutual and we were invited as a gift grab only. Groom made it pretty clear when he posted on FB that he doesn't know why more people don't over invite just from the gifts aspect since you know not everyone will come.

Otherwise if we decline it's because we already have another commitment or financial constraints.

I have never declined. I once didn't attend an out of state wedding I was invited to but there was no RSVP lol. It just said "hope you can make it." I almost wanted to go just to see the logistical nightmare.

I declined an out of state reception 6 months after they eloped, but only because it was the first weekend in December and December is already financially tight since FH, one of my nieces, my nephew, and one of my brothers all have December birthdays plus Christmas. I did want to go, but between the hotel, gas, food for two days, and gift it would add up fast.

We were recently invited to a high school friends wedding. I haven't talked to her since high school..13 years ago. Actually, I'm not even sure how she got my address! Thought that was a little odd.

My FH declined his cousin's wedding because he didn't want to go without me, but also thought it would be weird to bring me, because we had just started dating and he wasn't quite ready to expose me to his entire family's craziness. The small world ironic part is that it turned out the bride was MY cousin's best friend, and my cousin was the MOH. It took us about 4 months to figure it out via Facebook because FH kept getting a "people you might know" notification about my cousin.

I've declined when I was invited as a guest of my parents, for someone I personally do not know.
