While it\u2019s virtually impossible to select a date that will work for everyone on your guest list, it can still be disappointing to learn someone won\u2019t be able to celebrate your big day with you. So knowing this information, what do you do? Do you still send a wedding invite to people who can\u2019t come?<\/p> <p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s totally understandable why you might be hesitant to send out a wedding invitation to someone who you already know is a guaranteed \u201cno.\u201d For starters, it might seem wasteful to sent out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/invitations-stationery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wedding invitations<\/a> when it seems unnecessary. Additionally, you might not want to appear pushy or \u201cgift grabby,\u201d especially knowing full well your specific guests can\u2019t attend.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Or maybe the unavailable person is someone you\u2019re not particularly close to like a third cousin once removed. In the lattermost case, it\u2019s probably fine not to send out a wedding invite; but if the wedding guest is someone like a dear friend or family relative, you might want to consider sending out a wedding invite to them anyway. Here\u2019s why.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <h2>It\u2019s a nice gesture and keepsake<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2> <p class=\"p1\">Remember: your wedding day isn\u2019t just about having a party, but it\u2019s also an opportunity to celebrate you and your new found love. When you&#8217;re up to your eyeballs in wedding planning arrangements, it\u2019s easy to lose sight of just how big a deal your wedding will be! Not just for you and your soon-to-be spouse, but also to your closest friends and family who are excited to watch you take this next huge step in your life. We\u2019d argue that even receiving a simple gesture such as a wedding invitation will make them feel close to you and your special day even if it means not physically being there. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/LoriWaltenburyPhoto-000.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image wp-image-85482 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYxMSUyRkxvcmlXYWx0ZW5idXJ5UGhvdG8tMDAwLmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5OTAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjYwIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\"  \/><\/a><\/div> <p><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit Kat Bering Design Studio<\/span><\/p> <p><h3 class=\"related-posts-title toc_show\">You May Also Be Interested In<\/h3><ul class=\"display-posts-listing\"><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wedding-captions-for-instagram\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 2\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwMiUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtV2VkZGluZy1DYXB0aW9ucy1mb3ItSW5zdGFncmFtLWNvbXAtNDI1eDQyNS5qcGciIGRhdGEtdz0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWg9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1iaXA9IiI+PC9zdmc+\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wedding-captions-for-instagram\">Wedding Captions for Instagram: 150+ Ideas Organized by Photo Type<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-your-bridal-party\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 3\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjYlMkYwMSUyRkVTLUhlYWRlcnMtQnJpZGFsLVBhcnR5LTQyNXg0MjUucG5nIiBkYXRhLXc9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS1oPSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-your-bridal-party\">How to Choose Your Bridal Party: A Wedding Planning Guide<\/a><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/ultimate-last-minute-wedding-planning-checklist\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 4\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA0MjUgNDI1IiB3aWR0aD0iNDI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQyNSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjUlMkYxMSUyRkVTLUFydGljbGUtSGVhZGVycy13ZWRkaW5nLWNoZWNrbGlzdC00MjV4NDI1LnBuZyIgZGF0YS13PSI0MjUiIGRhdGEtaD0iNDI1IiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 642px, (min-width: 576px) 510px, calc(100vw - 30px)\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/ultimate-last-minute-wedding-planning-checklist\">The Ultimate Last-Minute Wedding Planning Checklist<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p> <h2 class=\"p1\">It\u2019ll make both of you feel good<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2> <p class=\"p1\">Maybe they can\u2019t attend your big day, but receiving a wedding invite will let them know that you still think of them and that you honour their place in your life. Inviting someone to your wedding is typically a symbol of how much someone means to you. After all, you only want people who love your love to be a part of your special day. Receiving a wedding invite tells them how much they are appreciated. If you feel like it, tuck a short note inside and tell them how much you\u2019ll miss them.<\/p> <div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AsYouWishWeddings005.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img alt=\"ultimate last minute wedding planning checklist, 5\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-85488 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYxMSUyRkFzWW91V2lzaFdlZGRpbmdzMDA1LmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5OTAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjYwIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\"  \/><\/a><\/div> <p><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit <a class=\"listing-mentionable listing-mentionable-disabled listing-mentionable-disabled\" href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-listing=\"7476\">As You Wish Weddings<\/a><\/span><\/p> <h2 class=\"p1\">It won\u2019t look like you\u2019re pushing for a gift<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2> <p class=\"p1\">If you\u2019re worried that sending a wedding invite to someone who can\u2019t come looks like you\u2019re hustling for a gift, don\u2019t be. If someone sees a wedding invitation and immediately assumes \u201cgift\u201d then that says more about them than you. The truth is, if they\u2019re a close friend or relative, they are probably considering gifting you with something special anyway. It\u2019s not uncommon for people to send a gift even if they can\u2019t attend. They\u2019ll probably be happy to have access to the gift registry and wedding website. Not only will they know what to potentially give you, but having this information will help them feel part of your wedding day.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p> <div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/jess-bailey-f94JPVrDbnY-unsplash.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-85280 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYxMCUyRmplc3MtYmFpbGV5LWY5NEpQVnJEYm5ZLXVuc3BsYXNoLmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5OTAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjYwIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Sending Wedding Invites to People Who Can\u2019t Make It\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\"  \/><\/a><\/div> <h2 class=\"p1\">It leaves an opportunity for guests to attend if they can<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2> <p class=\"p1\">Plans change.
