    Hey Everyone,

    FH and I have a few people who we know can't attend - they told us when we sent out the save the dates.  Do we still send them invitations - on one hand, it seems rude not to, and plans could change, but on the other, we don't want to seem like we are begging for a gift.  What's the etiquette?

    Maybe send them a quick email saying 'I'm sending you an invite just in case your plans change...here's hoping you can make it'  something like that.

    do invite them again.

    I would send them an invite for sure. It's the thought that counts - they are part of your wedding guest list and you could slip a little note in there saying, "I know you are unable to attend but if your plans change we'd love to see you." An invite is by no means a sign for "send us some loot please!" 

    Plus if they don't get an invite and their plans change but they have not told you yet, how would you know? Then they might feel awkward asking you to send them an invite thinking maybe you already crossed them off the list...etc.

    Good luck!
