I love how you point out: a successful wedding only needs two people.

So true!

As I sit here, there is a wedding invitation laying next to me which requires my response. While it’s already known that I am going to attend (I’m in the wedding party) I now feel inclined to add a message to my response.

I’ve never thought about being on the side of the bride and groom before, even though my brother and sister have gone through this process. I suppose since both of their weddings were (far) out of town they knew in advance that a lot of people wouldn’t make it. But some of the responses from people that could make it surprised them because of the distance they would need to travel. I hope you got some of those responses too.

I think I would get emotional too over the declines of invites. I really like how youdescribed your wedding as in “BIG” meaning well-celebrated.

I think you and I are somewhat alike. I like to think I’m pretty practical, but now we’re actually starting to talk about getting married (!!) and I seem to get quite emotional over these conversations. A future post about this is in the works. 😉

Those no’s are painful! Even the ones you know will be no’s. It will be a beautiful day with those who are able to make it though! And you’ll be in that gorgeous dress!!!

Beautiful dress! I’m sorry to hear you’re getting some regrets 🙁
Whenever I RSVP to a wedding I always write a note on the card. When I was planning my wedding I loved when people wrote little notes on the response card, so I try to do the same.

Our wedding was tiny and local so only a couple people declined (the ones overseas, plus one who had a last minute work trip abroad). I can imagine though how wrenching it must be to not be able to share that day with loved ones. And I guess the bigger the wedding, the higher the odds of guests being unable to make it.
