One day notice to attend a wedding???

[Stardust35]

Received a verbal invite one day before.
Would you go?

Currently the situation I'm in.

If I wanted to go and I liked the couple I would yeah.

If I liked the couple and had nothing planned that day, absolutely.

if it as close by and not a huge expense/effort, absolutely!

If I wanted to go, yes. If I wasn't bothered about the couple or their wedding then nope

If I was free I would go but wouldn't bring a gift

I doubt it.

I wouldn't unless it's a spontaneous wedding and all the other guests got an invite the day before too.

Only if I wanted to but that would apply to any wedding (apart from close family).

They've probably had a late cancellation and would like you to be be there.

Do you have a dress, any other plans, is it easy to get to, accommodation needed?

Well if I liked the couple and I was free and I had a suitable wedding outfit, then Yes I would go.

What's the AIBU?

Well if I liked them and sure I wasn't an afterthought I would go .

Nope, clearly making up the numbers so I’d decline.

Yes I would go assuming I didn't have other plans and I wasn't going to incur huge cost travelling to the venue

I really don’t get this attitude. Every wedding has limits on numbers and will almost always involve leaving potential guests off the list simply because they have no choice.

Equally every wedding/ event will have last minute drop-outs, especially in the winter.

So it’s not insulting to be asked at very short notice. If I thought I’d enjoy the day I’d go in a heartbeat and feel glad they felt comfortable with asking me.

So OP, are you going?

If you're free and it's near, of course

Yes. Maybe they were limited on numbers and someone else couldn’t make it so they are now able to extend the invites.
I definitely wouldn’t be so shallow as to be offended and not go.

I'd go too - someone has obviously pulled out as very short notice, but the couple have taken this as an opportunity to invite you, as they would like you to be there.

I wouldn't refuse the invite just because other guests were invited earlier - they want you there, and if you can make it, I think you should go.

You can send them a present after the wedding.

Oh yes, assuming I like the couple and can get there without too much fuss.

I don't mind being the last minute filler-in at all, and have been to a few good dos on that footing.

If it was local and I already had an outfit, yes, but I wouldn't be bothered scrabbling around for accommodation and outfit.

If I would have people to talk to when I was there, then maybe.

No probably not tbh.

Only if it wouldn't cost me anything more than a few drinks.

I couldn't be arsed arranging hotel, travel or paid childcare for something so last minute.

Do i like the couple? Am I free? Can I get there?

I'd probably think it was fun to get a last minute invite.

If I wanted to and could afford to, yes. Wouldn't shell out on a major present mind, bottle Waitrose champagne would do it.

I'd not be offended by a last minute invite, where clearly someone has dropped out and they'd asked me along instead, I'd actually be quite touched I was first on the reserve list. But whether I went or not, would depend on what else I had planned for the day. If I could make it and wanted to go, I would. Weddings are fun!

I'd attend if it was convenient, I'd got something ready to wear in my wardrobe, didn't need a trip to the hairdresser etc. I wouldn't rush around buying a gift, they'd get cash in a card at most at that short notice.

You're clearly top or near the top of the reserve list, so that's not so bad.
