Declining An Invitation, Without Giving A Reason
19 Answers
Earlier in the year we were invited to the wedding of a cousin who we hardly know. Hubby didn't really want to go, as he's very anti-social, but I talked him round a bit by saying that there were a few other family members who I would like to see, including a great uncle in his nineties who I may not get the chance to see again. So, I booked a hotel for one night, and replied and accepted the invitation. Now, not only have I found out that none of the family members who I was counting on seeing are going to be there, but hubby has suddenly decided we can't afford it and he's refusing point-blank to go. I am sure I can cancel the hotel booking without penalty, as there is still a while to go before the wedding, but what do I say to the bride and groom-to-be, having previously accepted their invitation? I would feel embarrassed to tell them that we can't afford to go, and just as embarrassed to tell them that hubby is throwing a tantrum! Can anyone suggest a way of putting it so I don't have to give the real reason for the change of mind?
