Wedding invitations
hi
A guest I want to invite to our wedding has already told me that he can't make it. What I want to know is would it be in bad taste to still send an invitation because we would still like them to send a gift?

<div>No it's not in bad taste to still send the invite, since yuo are supposed to do that anyways. But your reasoning for asking disgusts me.</div>

People's plans change. That guest might be able to make the wedding. If that person is important to you, I'd still send the invitation.
Your friends and family will send gifts or not send gifts regardless of receiving an official invitation. We received gifts from some people who were not invited. We didn't receive gifts from some people we sent invitations to. You should send the invitations to indicate a desire for their presence, not a desire for presents.

</div><div>Yes, it would be in bad taste to send him an invite because you expect a gift. You should send him an invite because you want to invite him to your wedding and realize his plans might have changed since you talked to him.

Totally agree. The wow was for the original question, not the responses. =O)
Right OP?
Wow.

<div>Yes, it would be rude to send an invite just to get a gift. Send the invite if you would want him to attend your wedding, whether or not he brought a gift.</div><div>
