If You Know Someone Cant Come
Inviting Someone When You Know They Can't Come
I've been reading mixed letters on this 1.
Yes - Considering it'south called being considerate
No - Because it'due south tacky & you lot're just asking for gifts.
And then which is information technology?
Legit question. I accept guests I know who can't get in due to location & time of year. Exercise I send them an invitation anyhow even though they told me they won't be able to go far?

Sending a wedding ceremony invitation isn't asking for gifts. It's inviting them to your wedding.

I have a lot of family unit who I know can't get in (nearly in fact) but they'd withal expect an invite---- only this is one of the many reason people do not put whatever kind of info virtually gifts on invites! :-)

I'd say send the invite anyhow. Sometimes plans change, and it's polite to send them an invite simply in case.

I still sent the invites. The one person was my uncle so I knew he'd want to feel included. Then in that location was some elderly guests that I know don't go out much. So I didn't want them to feel left.
What's annoying is that the people I already knew couldn't come up are the ones who could be bothered to send the RSVP's back.

I'm in the aforementioned boat, yes I would still send an invite even though you know they tin't come. At to the lowest degree you are still thinking about them.

I believe if you transport a salvage the date peculiarly you lot should still send an invite. I hold though, information technology's a lilliputian tricky for us too depending on the person. Family who can't come up I definitely volition still send... but a few board members from FHs concern regretfully declined equally they will be away. I estimate I'll still send them an invite??

I asked because there were mixed messages on this one. I was actually curious about the respond.
For the record, I'm sending them all invitations anyway, but I read on another thread that sending them to people who will be declining is the same as asking for gifts.
Plus, I remember information technology's pretty hypocritical that I'1000 non allowed to bring up comments from other threads, but you are.

We accept people who we know are 'courtesy invites'. We can't NOT enquire them b/c there are and then many other family members that are invited. It'southward not request for gifts, information technology'southward inviting people who you want to come up. Information technology is non your fault that they cannot make it.

I sent them because a lot of my family unit can't brand information technology- but they would be majorly pissed if I didn't transport them ane. I don't know, maybe it's a cultural affair or something, but it's not because of gifts...

We're sending an invite to my fiance'due south grandparents in Iceland and Thailand, and it has aught to do with expecting gifts. We just want to let them know that we're thinking of them on our big mean solar day, and if they can brand it, we'd be happy to host them.

1) No i is ever required to give a nuptials gift, the near that is required is "Best Wishes" commonly in the class of a card.
2) an invite is not a summons.
3) plans change, they may come after telling y'all they cannot.

Nosotros invited nigh 100 people that we knew were not going to come because my mom insisted that anybody that I am related to in any manner be invited. None of them sent gifts so i presume they didn't retrieve that I was trying to become more than gifts (that was Not my intention). If they did call back information technology was souvenir grabby and then oh well because I have non seen most of them in 25 years.

You lot should expect a rsvp out of every invite you send (even though that rarely happens, of it fifty-fifty happens at all). Don't invite more than y'all can afford because someone might surprise you. I'd transport the invites, even though you know they won't be able to go far. Information technology isn't gift grabby at all. If you print the address you want your gifts shipped to on the invitations, I'd consider you souvenir grabby.

I'thousand sending them to a few that I know can't come. I still want them to know I'd love them to be there and even though I know they can't, mayhap they tin pull it off!
