“You’re not invited” E-mail Wedding Alerts

'You're not invited' alerts: New wedding trend draws criticism - The Look

Careful: That e-mail from your newly engaged friend may be just the bearer of bad news. It could be to kindly not request your presence at their wedding.

“You’re not invited” alerts are the latest trend for those brides and grooms who feel a need to confirm non-attendance. With some couples looking for more budget-friendly receptions (i.e., smaller guest lists) and social media serving as wedding announcements on steroids, some feel a need to let non-essential pals know they’ll be sitting this one out.

I'd have to write them back and say Thanks! Dodged that bullet!

Do people really show up at weddings uninvited? It wouldn't think it was really an issue.

I'd reply:

What's rude is saying your going and then not show up. Not call or anything.
