I received a wedding Save The Date card several months ago for the granddaughter of some wonderful friends of ours who, sadly, have passed away. The wedding is about two hours away and would require an overnight in a hotel. We planned to go, but now just don't feel like giving up an entire weekend to attend. I'd like to RSVP to the bride by saying something nice and letting her know that we appreciate the invitation and will send a nice gift, but we just don't feel like attending.
I'm struggling to find the right words. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
