Invite after STD?

If I have heard from someone after they received our Save the Date that they will not be able to attend the wedding, do I still send an invitation?

Re: Invite after STD?

  • Yes.  Circumstances may have changed.  STD always = invite.

  • Ditto PP.  We have a guest or two that has told us that they can't make it and they are not expecting us to send them an invite (which I think is a weird thing to say).  We'll be sending an invite to everyone to whom we sent a save the date, regardless of whether or not they think they can come. 
  • Circumstances change and maybe they will be able to make it afterall. 

    I know some family will be unable to make it to our wedding for various reasons (out of the country, etc).  I will still be sending them an invitation.

  • We didn't send an invite to one couple (per them) because they were due with their first child on our wedding day and our wedding was OOT.   They told us not to waste the invite because if things change it would not be for the better anyway.

    Everyone else we did and I'm glad.  Plans change and they might be able to attend after all.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
