How to Reject Wedding Invitations

[godbirdie]

Hi, care to share how to reject wedding invitation nicely?

I believe we receive from people, friends or colleagues who invite us to wedding but somewhere, we do not feel like going., maybe feel not close or ask for the sake of filling tables.

For me, i done it before by saying gtg holidays, another friend wedding.
Worse part is, people just put or send ur wedding card without asking!Then must bao ang pao liao...

Hey godbirdie, one way I can think of is telling them that you have something important on that day and wish them happy marriage haha. And since they are not close friends and you do not wish to go I feel its alright to reject them this way anyway the relationship with them is not really there I guess? Haha saying another friend's wedding might hurt their feelings as they might think ur other friend is more important than them lol..

You have to tell them as early as you can that you cannot go and of course, the reason why you can't. Apologize to them and wish them a happy marriage.

i think you should contact them personally, tell them your valid reason for not attending and then apologize for not going.

maybe you can tell the person that you're busy or something like that. Or something like you can't really promise to attend their wedding but you'll try your best to do so.

Maybe you should just tell them directly, honestly and politely that you wouldn't be able to go. for the ang bao, i think everyone is not required to give.
