Wedding Etiquette Question??

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??

  • If you talk to her on a regular basis, I'd probably tell her that you wont be able to make the ceremony.
  • I agree! I'm sure she'd understand, given the circumstances, and will be happy that you'll be at the reception!
  • 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.

  • If you talk to her alot then you can tell her. If not, I don't think it's a "must" that you let her know.  Not many people told me that they couldn't make it to the church.  The reception is what matters--that is what they pay per person for.
