One day notice to attend a wedding???

[Stardust35]

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

Currently the situation I'm in.

I would go. We had last minute drop outs to our wedding and didn't invite anyone else because I was anxious about what they'd think. But we had an amazing day, if I had turned up there with one days noticed I would have had a great time. In hindsight seemed like a waste to leave those empty seats.

If I liked them and if it was easy to get there, then yes! Why wouldn't you?

Do you want to go???

If so then yes go.

Weird thing to have to ask about tbh. Either you want to go or you don't.

If I wanted to - yes.

I've had one of these before (only an evening invitation) from a colleague. I was on the B list being part-time (fair enough), so when some A listers couldn't go I was invited. I gave it a miss.

I might if I wanted to. But would feel no sense of obligation whatsoever.,

Good point!

The day before? No. Very rude. And very rude of the long ago invited guest who dropped out the day before the wedding (unless it was for a very good reason of course which we don’t know).

If it was convenient and I liked them, yeah course.

Absolutely not! As previous posters have said, someone has obviously dropped out at the last minute and you're being invited to make up the numbers. If I wasn't important enough to make the guest list from the beginning, I'd be telling them where to go 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is it just to the service or service and night party without the dinner/reception? That would make sense because anyone can come to that and maybe you bumped into them.

Are you available? Do you want to go? Is it easy to get to? Are they expecting a gift?
How are we suppose to no.

No I wouldn’t go. The invite is clearly an after thought

"If I wasn't important enough to make the guest list from the beginning, I'd be telling them where to go 🤷🏻‍♀️"

Well if it's a close friend, yes, a friendly acquaintance and it's more understandable that you weren't a priority guest.

If I liked them then yes.
We're getting married in the summer. It's bloody expensive and the venue has a max capacity so sadly we couldn't invite everyone I would have liked to be there (eg close colleagues etc) as we had to prioritise.
This "second best" stuff is bullshit. They may have preferred your company over auntie Joan's but we're under pressure from parents/family to invite them.

Exactly. They didn't want to invite you, but they've had drop outs so you're in - at very short notice. I think it's rude.

If I was free and could afford it sure. Even if ur an afterthought. Weddings can be cutthroat due to costs, they obviously want you there and due to circumstances are able to include you,

No
A because they are filling spaces
B nothing to wear
C have to buy a gift

Everyone has to limit the number of guests invited to a wedding. If someone has dropped out and they invite you I'd not see that as rude at all. We were invited to an evening do, groom was a friend of DHs, but not close enough to have been invited to the whole thing. When a couple dropped out due to illness, they asked us would we like to take their place at the whole thing. We were delighted to accept.
As long as you can happily accept the invitation knowing you weren't on the initial list, and you can manage everything logistically at such short notice, then why wouldn't you go?

If it was smart casual. I could do dark denim, DM's and an open collared shirt. More formal than that and I would need to buy/hire a suit and shoes.

I wouldn’t go to a wedding if I was invited as an after thought or to make up numbers no but if it was a totally last min planned one and I really liked the couple then yes

This is why I wouldn't go.

No

You've only been invited as somebody has dropped out

Someone's cancelled. Venue is charging them for the meal anyway.

If you want a free feed, crack on. If you are annoyed that you are a back up, don't go.

Would depend on:
*Did I like them
*Location
*Expense

If all of these are OK, then I would go. Someone has probably dropped out last minute or something like that. You would probably doing them a favour as they've already paid for food etc

it would appear that you are currently in a rom com - I should go
