Wedding Invite - Help

[hickorydickorynurseryrhyme]

An old friend has invited me to her wedding. We're not in touch other than on FB and tbh i don't want to go.
AIBU to not go?

No. Just say you can't get out of work (if weekday) or you have another wedding (of weekend)
Or just send a with regret reply

If you dont want to go then just say you wont be attending. I dont understand why you even think this constitutes an AIBU?

Of course it's fine not to go. 'So sorry... busy that day... do have a lovely time'.
She'll be secretly pleased she has one fewer salmon en Croute to pay for.

Just say no, you can't go.

As the old MN saying goes, it's an invitation not a summons!

'Thank you so much for your kind invitation but unfortunately I won't be able to attend. Have a wonderful day xx'

I love not going to weddings.

FFS. Why do people need to ask silly questions like this?

Just say NO. In a nice way..of course.

I don't do weddings. Except immediate family and I love those.

SO there is always a prior engagement for dates of other weddings. And I don't care, if the truth be known neither do they!

@Velvetbee

We call it Salmon on Crutches.

My reasons are because I've know her since we were little we grew up together used to be best friends but we've grown apart. It's also not her first wedding!

Thanks all

Of course it's fine not to go. Find a nice little note card and write a sorry can't come note. You don't need to say why. Wish them luck and send a Happy Wedding day card closer to the day (if you remember). It's fine you're saving her money by not going

I'm just interested to see what people's responses are.

If you don't want to go - then don't. I hate weddings! As pp have suggested send a "So sorry I can't make the date. Hope you have a lovely day. Catch up with you after the honeymoon"....or some similar shit.

Big girl pants on and decline graciously. They don't care whether you go or not but will always remember that you got an invite!

and you shouldn't worry about declining either. Nice of them to invite you tho.

Look after number one i.e. You.

I would send a nice card with a voucher or something as a wedding present along with the regret notice.

Will be so less costly on so many levels than attending!
