Lamest RSVP Excuses!

View quoted message

My mom told me not to get married next summer because its her 20th anniversary... and she's waited 20 years for it... and can't afford Hawaii and my wedding.. I feel for you.

Well I guess I kind of did recieve one recently, and I'm not bothered by it, but after getting the message that she can't come to my wedding, which she could have left it at that, she then tells me that she will be away on vacation with her husband and his father. No biggy and if you dont want to come, that is 2 spots for someone else, what I found funny is that she is a teacher and even though my wedding is in March, its not march break which happens 2 weeks earlier, and since she is a teacher she gets March break off, not the week of my wedding.

I was super angry with him. After that I decided he isn't worth my time if he is going to treat me like that. I had another friend who's cousin was killed in a car crash the weekend before my wedding, and the viewing was Friday and then the funeral was the same day as my wedding. She managed to have an eye doctors appointment in the morning, my ceremony, went to the funeral, and then came back for my reception.

That's so incredibly rude of him!

So I had a couple rsvp yes to the wedding (Kyle was my friend, and I invited him and his wife). The Wednesday before my wedding, I had a death in my family and I was talking to my friend Kyle and he said that he had a death in his family that day to but that the funeral wasn't until the week after my wedding so he was still attending. Maybe an hour later, he said the funeral was on my wedding day and it was like 4.5 hours away and so he would only be able to come to the reception extremely late, if he even made it back on time.... Turns out there was no death in the family, and he just went on a road trip with his wife and daughter instead.

I haven't gotten any actual excuses...just people who never mailed their RSVP cards and when asked say that they totally forgot. Just check a box and pop it in the mail. It's not hard and not doing it causes so much grief and extra work for us!

It's making me crazy!

View quoted message That's awful! I'm sorry your parents are being that way

My FH has a friend that grew up next door to him all his life. A few years ago, that friend and his wife moved out to the country to start a small farm to table business and he said he couldn't make it to our wedding as they couldn't leave the chickens alone for a few days. Wtf?!

View quoted message Lolll actually that could very well be the case I hadn't thought of that!

View quoted message Sad ** heck, maybe she even expected to be a MOH since she admitted beforehand that she wanted to do a speech!

View quoted message I relate! It is a lame excuse. Kinda sounds like something deeper going on there cuz the excuse is so shoddy lol maybe she said that she wasn't a bridesmaid hahah

View quoted message Wow that's incredibly frustrating! Definitely not a good excuse especially after being asked to be your MOH

When I asked my best friend to be my maid of honour, and she came back three months later saying she doesn't know if she can come cuz she can't afford it. Then told me her parents would pay for her flight but that she still doesn't know if she can come in case she gets a job. GIRL BYE. Tell the job you need three days off cuz of a wedding, not that hard.

View quoted message Yeah, she could definitely pass on that conference!

My parents told me I am "not allowed" to get married next summer because they are going to be working a lot. I told them they can choose to come or not come. They then told me that I need to be "less selfish".

I'm actually a little upset as one of my friends can't come to the wedding. I'd normally be fine with someone saying no but with this friend, we had talked about my wedding before I was even engaged and she said she couldn't wait to give a speech at the wedding someday. I was even a bridesmaid in her wedding a few years back. She had originally accepted the invite as I expected but then a few days later declined it and said "Oh I thought your wedding was in September. We have a work conference to go to and we haven't gone to one in a while so we should go to it so we won't be able to make it to your wedding"
I'm sorry but as a really good friend I can't accept a "work thing" excuse. Especially when your parents own the company. And I gave you plenty of notice. I dont understand how you can't just leave a little early to make it to the wedding. If they had a trip planned out of country months in advance then I would totally get it. But a work thing?? Anyway long rant but that really bugged me lol
