I was invited to my college roommates May wedding. I RSVP'd yes as soon as we got the invite because I knew I would go no matter what came up. Well I somehow failed to notice she is having a Friday wedding @ 4p with the reception @ 6p. DH and I both work until 4:30p in Philly and I do not have any time to take off -- I just came back to work last week after being out for maternity leave for 3 months.
We can make it to the reception (we already have a sitter lined up) but there is no way we can go to the ceremony. So my question:
Do we tell her now that we won't be at the ceremony or just not show and go directly to the reception?
I don't want to be rude, and I can honestly say I wouldn't notice if someone was missing from the church at my wedding, but I don't want to mess anything up.
Help!!!!
Thanks.
Re: Wedding Etiquette Question??
My wedding was at 4pm on a Friday and the reception was at 6:30. I totally understood if people couldn't make it to the church. I honestly couldn't tell you who was there and who wasn't.
If you talk to her on a regular basis, I agree that you should say something. I'm sure she'll understand.
