Umm...
I've totally had to un-invite people to my wedding. (Yikes, huh.) I'm talking the ones that I mentioned it to but didn't send an invite to when the time came. (Is asking for their address in order to send them an invite, the same as inviting them? I think in a way it is... which makes me a jerk on my behalf.) What are ya gunna do though? I "invited" these people before I knew we HAD to get a caterer I thought we were going for the make-your-own-food-route." Needless to say its been uncomfortable, but I've had to do it. I shouldn't have thought, 'Ohhh, I'm going to invite all these old high-school peeps that I hardly talk to anymore.' and should have in that moment of silliness thought, 'No, Kelsey that is foolish. They aren't ALL there to celebrate with you, it is like making Facebook creeping easy for them. Just stick to the close people to you.' Sounds really harsh, and I swear I'm not as cold as it sounds.
So to those whom I have already had to talk to =/ I really am sorry. I'm sure you understand.
But please, please, do not show up if you haven't RSVP'ed, nor got an invite in the mail. I don't want to have to kick anyone out ;)
"Due to limited space and an unforeseen expenses/an unanticipated conservative budget, we have made the difficult decision to downsize our wedding to family and a restricted number of close friends. We wish we could accommodate everyone who have touched our lives, and for those we are unable to share firsthand our special day, we covet your prayers and well-wishes." might be a message for your Facebook if you haven't posted a similar message already.
ReplyDeleteThis sort of situation does happen to a good number of people and I have had to impose restrictions on events in my life due to similar circumstances (space, budget, etc.). I am sure those who are people of upstanding character will understand. :)
