Lame Excuses For Why People Aren't Going to Your Wedding...What Did You Receive?

CONT....

ones that missed out on a great wedding and party.. But you know what ??? THEY WAS NOT MISSED OR MENTIONED ANYMORE THAT NIGHT.. Not until Now... I still really wanna go strangle the life out of him and that crouch critter of a girlfrirend of his... But I will be nice and move on..

We had a bunch of people not send back their RSVP. Most of them I am just counting as a "no" because they are OOT and haven't responded to my messages. So, whatever.

FH had a friend tell him he would know a few days before wedding if he could come - he wasn't sure because of his wife's work schedule. Uh, you've known for 10 months. And it's on a Sunday afternoon. She could have planned accordingly.

A girl I work with never RSVPd so I asked her yesterday if she was coming. She said "Oh, I don't know. I might be doing homework that day."

Lame excuses=im broke

My cousin didn't give me a reason, but then I saw on Facebook she went to a baseball game...more out of town for her than our wedding...and yes, I sent Save the Dates, 11 months in advance.

"I can't afford to attend" got this from a BM 2 months before the wedding. We've had our date picked for 16 months. LAME.

My favorite was the response, "no" from my cousin. We've been pretty close her whole life. Her parents are going through a divorce and her mom is trying her hardest to ruin my uncles life, so she wasn't invited. I'm pretty sure that's why, but not, " no, sorry" or anything, just "no"

@Tee76 crouch critter ROFLLLLLLLLLLL

I'll take whatever lame excuses I can get ;-)

If people are giving lame excuses they simply don't want to attend. Their loss.

My best friend's daughter (who is like one of my kids) decided the day of the wedding that she was too tired to go the ceremony (which was at 4:00 in the afternoon) and was just going to the reception. Then she didn't like the person we were sending to pick her up so she just stayed home. Drama queen.

Another no show was because a girl got in a fight with her husband that day and "wasn't in the mood". haha

DH's grandmother tried every excuse in the book to not come to our wedding. DH's dad (her son), plus her other children (DH's aunts and uncles) offered her many options so she could come to the wedding, but nope.

Grandma: " I can't sit that long for the drive" (5 hours away)

DH's dad: "We'll stop every hour or so, so you can stretch your legs"

Grandma: "I have no where to stay there"

DH's other aunt: "I have extra space in my room"

Grandma: "I'll have to wear running shoes to the ceremony, due to foot issues"

DH and I: "We don't care what you wear, as long as you will come"

Grandma: "I need my oxygen tanks"

DH's aunt, DH and I: "You can bring extra ones, plus there is a home health store right across the street from the hotel. We can order you extra ones to be picked up for the weekend".

She never ended up coming. Probably the only grandson she'll see get married; DH's other cousins are no where near getting married, and she wouldn't come.

I had a couple declines because the people had plans to attend a birthday party. Not anything spectacular, just a dinner locally. It’s fine with me though, less people I have to pay for.

I haven't sent out my invites yet, but I got lane excuse for the shower. My friend says to me that her new boyfriend got Michael Buble tickets for the night of the shower. ( shower is 1130am. concert isn't until 8 and its 30 minutes away) and the bf MAY be planning something fun for them to do during the day before the concert. So if he doesn't plan anything real fun, then she will be at the shower. Basically said if I don't have anything better to do, I'll be there. The kicker is, she and this new bf aren't serious. She keeps saying she isn't attracted to him at all and they are just casually dating, but he likes to take her lots of places, and she likes to take him up on his offers so she goes. This is so not like her, so I'm shocked about all of it.

I didn't get as many declines as I was hoping. I had one family member die. Another extended family couple that's several hours away and knew they wouldn't come, and another couple whose had a vacation planned since last year, which I knew about. I've only had one couple that hasn't responded to any of our or our families inquiries about them coming, so I'm counting them out. That's it!

Abby – it’s so incredibly rude when people don’t respond. I’ve had a few people that I’ve personally tried contacting just not get back to me. It’s so inconsiderate. But whatever. If they do show, they have nowhere to sit, their problem.

I sent my invites out last Wed. and haven't gotten a single RSVP yet. Not even from FMIL who told me she got hers the next day. I'm hoping it's all because of the holiday!!!

FSIL had her childhood friend simply write her a letter telling her that her school was more important to her and she wouldn't make it. Even FH was shocked this said friend wasn't at his sisters wedding.

I'm waiting for my FMIL's excuse... she got her invite over the weekend (FH delivered it to her) and apparently she didn't even say thank you.

Lindsay- i know its extremely rude! Its fhs extended relative who ive never even met. It puts a bitter taste in my mouth about him now! And all of his other family is coming so i wouldnt be surprised if he showed. He wont have a seat though.

I had one girl no show. Her excuse was that her phone broke so she couldn't make it to my wedding.

uh what?

I haven't gotten their responses yet, but I have OOT family that has known about the wedding for 9 months and they say that their older children (my cousins who are in their 20's) may not be able to come because of school. Heaven forbid they miss one day of classes. But when they need something I can take several days out of work to be there and thats ok.

I sent my invites out last monday and have gotten a good amount of responses so far. Last night I had my first..."can I bring my....." my cousin asked if she could bring her fiance? FIANCE?! I didn't even know you had a boyfriend? Its not official till its on facebook, Amiright!??! And last I checked you were in a relationship "and it was complicated"

But I said yes because I had a couple people that I invited with guests respond with just one person.

My grandmother b/c she "doesn't like to drive". However, my very ailing granddaddy could come and she could have hitched a ride with my mom, her husband, her son, etc...

One of my bm b/c she "had car troubles" the week before. What's worse is she didn't even tell me, she text my sister (another bm). Then I never even got a congrats after!
