Question by Anonymous: how to RSVP NO to a wedding -?
I am invited to a wedding that I would love to go to, however, cannot afford to go because we can’t afford it. I recently lost my job (no one knows, yet) and I’m trying to make smart decisions. This couple gave us $ 300 at our wedding and I would feel HORRIBLE giving less – but at the same time I cannot afford it at the moment.

I did give her a very generous bridal shower gift –

how do I turn down the invitation and explain why – she gave us enough notice about her wedding so “having other plans” won’t cut it.

any suggestions?

Don’t go, don’t give a reason for not going when you’re asked… it’s none of their goddamn business.

  1. JohnS Says:

    could always pretend you never got the RSVP invite in the first place, play dumb all the way through

  2. pathological Says:

    You are not required to give a reason with your regrets. Send a nice card and a gift and mark the no line on the RSVP card.

  3. Sick Lullaby Says:

    Send a card back telling her that you regret to inform he that you are unable to attend due to personal matters. You wish her the best and wish you could be there.

  4. VeggieTart -- Praise Seitan! Says:

    If the wedding is far away, and you can’t afford to go, you only need to mark the RSVP card and send it. If it’s local, but you are reluctant to go because you can’t afford as nice a gift as they got you, perhaps you could get a smaller gift. If the couple is close to you, they doubtless know of your situation.

  5. DIXIE Says:

    You don’t need to say anything, but if you want to you could simply say: Sorry, cannot attend.

  6. saraimay75 Says:

    If she is a close enough friend she will understand why you cannot go. Why you cannot buy a gift. You don’t need other plans. If this woman cannot understand the she may not be the good friend you thought she was.

  7. Jennifer Says:

    On the invitation there should be 2 RSVP indications – on that says you will attend and one that says you will not attend. If there is all you need to do is fill in the not attend one and send it back. You do not need to put a reason why you cannot attend.

    If there is no will not attend box (which there always should be for proper invitation etiquette) then just write Not above the will attend and send it back.
