It is no secret that organizing weddings has become more and more expensive in recent years. However, wedding guests also incur higher costs. It is increasingly said that when going to such an event, we must put at least a thousand zlotys in the envelope. There are also travel and creation costs. For this reason, many people refrain from attending weddings.
How to refuse to attend a wedding?
Usually, wedding invitations include a deadline by which we should confirm our participation in the event. If we do not intend to appear at the ceremony, it is worth informing the bride and groom well in advance. In guides on this subject, we can read that to compensate for the refusal, we can invite them to a meeting during which we will toast their marriage.
They didn’t show up at the wedding. They had previously confirmed their attendance
However, it turns out that not everyone sticks to these rules. Ewelina, who was a witness at her sister’s wedding a year ago, recalls an unpleasant situation at the event. – Two couples from quite close family did not show up. Interestingly, two months earlier these people confirmed that they would be there. As far as we know, nothing has happened that would justify their absence. After the wedding, they didn’t even speak to my sister or her husband or apologize, says Ewelina.

Karolina has had similar experiences. One family member did not show up at her wedding. – I really regretted that I had even invited her. We don’t keep in touch. I did it at the request of my mother, who really wanted it to be a big family event. If I had known in advance that he wouldn’t show up, I would have invited a friend, she reveals.
“Some guests forget that.”
In turn, Jagoda, who had her wedding in April, draws attention to an important problem. – I didn’t want the wedding, I agreed because of my husband. I really don’t like this type of events and I think that organizing them is currently way too expensive. Some guests, however, completely forget about it. They think that they have to put something in the envelope. But they do not take into account that the bride and groom also incur costs, says our interlocutor.
As many as three couples from her husband’s family did not appear at Jagoda’s wedding. As a result, the bride and groom lost several thousand zlotys. – These people have no shame. We lost several thousand zlotys because of this. They’re family, but I feel like cutting off contact with them. That’s not how it’s done, he sums up.
