Is it rude to not go to a wedding?
It is not rude, because you are under no obligation to attend weddings just because you were invited to them. As long as you are letting the couple know (RSVP No), you’re not being rude. It becomes rude when you accept the invitation and then you don’t attend.
How far in advance to Pick wedding date?
How far in advance should you pick a wedding date? If you’re planning a destination wedding, the rule of thumb is the sooner, the better. You should shoot for a date at least a year out. If your wedding is going to be local, it’s considerate to give your guests (and yourself) 6 to 12 months’ notice.
Should I go to an old friend’s wedding?
Answer: A wedding invitation isn’t a summons from the court, so feel free to decline. As long as you aren’t a truly close friend or relative and your absence would breed hurt feelings and also provided regrets are sent with good intentions and happy hopes toward the couple, you are not obligated to attend.
How far in advance should you postpone your wedding?
We recommend making the decision to postpone your wedding three to six months prior. Three months in advance for a smaller wedding that has more local guests. This will allow you just enough time to adjust your plans or scale back and still notify guests with plenty of time.
Can You Say No to attending a wedding?
“Simply not wanting to attend a wedding where you’re not close with the bride, groom, or their parents is enough of a reason to opt out.” Other instances in which you can say no are 500-guest weddings where you won’t know anyone but the bride and groom, or celebrations that your parents are attending (they can serve as your family representatives).
Should you decline a wedding because of vacation?
Another consideration is what prior commitments you have, vacation-wise, says Courtney Lutkus, owner and event planner/PR specialist at Simply Radiant Events. If you get just two weeks of vacation a year and are planning to take a longer personal trip, this is a completely legitimate excuse for declining a wedding.
How many wedding invites Will you receive this year?
Wedding season is almost upon us. Depending on your life stage, you might receive anywhere from a couple to a dozen wedding invites this year, and saying yes to all of them just isn’t feasible.
