Wedding guest lists - Page 3

If I receive a save the date, I am definitely calling to see where my invitation is. I have never heard of anyone sending a save the date and not an invitation. I also wouldn't be upset if somehow that was the case though.

Forgive me, I've had a rough day.

I would be so thrilled to have not have received an invitation. Though it's not nice that you were sent a save the date and no invitation.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

We received a save the date card. And I ordered a beautiful personalized gift and we never received the wedding invitation.

We didn't call to inquire and a couple of weeks after the wedding DH was meeting the groom to go hunting and took the gift. He said we had to cut the guest list. Guy was so embarrassed.

@Trailrun23 : You should definitely give them a call. They will be honored to know you cared enough to be part of their day. It's an obvious error. Have fun !

First of all, I wouldn't cancel vacation plans to attend a weding, etc, UNLESS I was a relative of the bride or groom or if the bride or groom were a CLOSE friend.I wouldn't call. I would ASSUME that some guests were not sent a wedding invitation due to a number of reasons.I would be relieved that I didn't have to go to the wedding.

On another note, the "save the date" practice is a bunch of nonsense. Anyone you know well enough to invite to your wedding knows the date. People you don't know that well but for some reason you have to invite are no great loss if they don't come.

I agree. I never cared for the "save the date" thing. It sounds like the people getting married think they are so special that everyone would want to have advance notice so they don't make any other plans for that day. jmo

I am old. I have been to four weddings in my lifetime.

At this point, I think I would email and say - I received your STD and think my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. I am so sorry that I cannot attend and wanted to be sure to RSVP so you won't think I'm rude.

I would assume plans have changed and move on.

I guess this has happened to you? I've never received a Save the Date and then no invitiation. It would be awkward.

I would never take a "mercy invite" if I had been cut from the list... and the trip I cancelled was not a huge deal....but I don't like getting a save the date card and not a wedding invitation. I would think they would be checking how many rsvps they are missing from the invitations that were sent. Obviously I didn't send an rsvp card because I didn't get one. I am just not going to worry about it and glad I never ordered a gift.
