Long story short – I used to be very close to someone but
over the years we fell apart. I wasn’t sure if I was going to invite her to my
wedding but we ended up getting in touch and felt it was the right thing to do
so I sent her a save the date.
Since then she has been a no call – no show to two events,
including my bridal shower. She is
fairly flakey so I held off on sending her invite out until after the shower
(since I had a feeling she wouldn’t show) to decide whether to give her a guest
(she has a boyfriend of about a year that I have never met). I assumed she would at least let my
bridesmaids know in advance that she was bailing, but she did not. One of my
bridesmaids contacted her after to ask why she didn’t show up and she didn’t even
respond.
To be clear, she did rsvp to both events but ended up being a no call, no show both times.
So my question is do I still need to invite her since she
was sent a save the date? I don’t want to be rude but at this point I have a
fairly good suspicion she would do another no call-no show.
