Wedding Invitations: Do You Mail Them Even When Guests RSVP "No" to the Save-the-Date Cards?

The Wedding Guru clears up confusion caused when guests RSVP “no” to one thing (but may say “yes” to another)

(page 1 of 2)

Because there are so many details involved in planning a wedding, it’s really easy to insult a friend or family member. The rule of thumb that I like to follow in all interpersonal issues is to put myself in the place of the “other guy.” More often than not, it will make coming to the correct decision easier. That’s my long-winded way of saying: follow your heart — not your head!

Dear Wedding Guru: “We’ve sent out our save-the-date cards and some of our guests have already called to say that they won’t be able to attend the wedding. Do we go ahead and send an invitation to those people anyway, even though they told us that they won’t be able to attend?”
