So my FI's step brother is getting married July 17th. FI received the STD in the mail and we did plan on attending. We told the bride and groom we were excited. We moved about two weeks ago and never received a invite. So I assumed it was late and would just wait for them to call like you are suppose to. FI made plans with his Mom for a place to stay and so on last night. We get this message via facebook this morning.
Hey guys,
I got a text from Karen earlier today saying you guys were now coming to the wedding. Unfortunately, we turned in our final head count this past Monday and cannot accept anymore guests. Our invites asked for RSVP’s by June 19th, and this was because our count was due the 21st. We tried to make it as close to the date as possible for our guests convenience. When people did not RSVP on the 19th we had room for more guests so we actually made VERY QUICK invites to some of my cousins from Ohio to take their place and they accepted those invites via email or phone prior to the deadline as well. We have already had to turn down a few other guests this week as a result of late RSVP’s. IN order to add them we would have to pay an increased rate. At the beginning of this process Crystal and I made the difficult decision to say that anything after the 19th could not be accepted because of the tight budget and limited seating. We really hope you guys understand, and that we do not upset you too much. We simply cannot afford to pay the increased rate for anybody at this point. However if we have ANY cancellations, you guys will be the 1st to be notified. Again I apologize for having to do this, but we have already turned in our final count for everything from food to linens to chairs and tables. Hopefully something will work out soon. Take care guys and we hope to see you soon!
.....Really no call? I feel sorry for the other people who didn't get their invites. Does this mean we are suppose to still send a gift?
