Should i try harder.

Michelle, on February 19, 2022 at 10:45 PM Posted in Planning 7 6
I am in the process of reaching out to family and friends to get their information. Most of the people I have reached out to have respond. My uncle, aunt, and cousin have read the message and have not responded. Unfortunately my grandmother has passed and my mother does not have the information. Should I try to reach out again or avoid inviting them since I do not have their information to send them an invitation?

    If it’s an obligatory invite then I’d let it go and if anyone says anything just say you tried to invite them. But if you’re inviting them because you want them there then I’d reach out at least one more time.

    I agree. Neither you nor your mom seem to have much contact with them, otherwise you would have had their contact data. You tried, they ghosted you - their loss.

    They read the messages and didn’t respond which was most likely intentional. I would move on.

    Personally, I wouldn't over read into the "left on read" situation. As a person, I'm not always great at responding right away, and if I forget, then I really forget. lol They may have seen it and thought to provide it in a bit (maybe they were busy at the moment), and then forgot. I think a simple follow up isn't too much. As others have said, if they're important to you, then of course reach out again. But even if it's just obligatory, maybe a gentle follow up would be nice.

    Though, I do think it's interesting that your parents don't have their information. If not addresses, then you could even task them with acquiring their mailing addresses. I think it's reasonable for the related parent to acquire some addresses for their side of the family. But best of luck! Either way, I wouldn't sweat it too much.

    Ask yourself if you really want them there in the first place. If it matters to you that they're at your wedding, then a follow up is totally fine. If the answer is no, then leave it. I've realized nothing makes you reconsider relationships with distant relatives more than a wedding lol.

    I would not keep reaching out to someone who is not responding after reading your message. That would be a waste of time and money that you can save.
