When refusing a wedding invitation, be gentle and try not to choose a strong tone. After all, marriage is a happy occasion, and couples still hope to have many friends' blessings. Reasons such as avoiding topics, busy work, physical discomfort, and family matters can be used.
How to refuse a wedding invitation
1. Avoiding topics: You can leave the topic unclear or just say that you will go when you have time;
2. Busy work: Using one's recent busy work as an excuse to tell the other person that they really can't escape from it;
3. Physical reasons: Using physical discomfort as a reason, gently tell the other person that their recent condition is not good and they are not suitable for travel;
4. Family reasons: such as holding parent teacher conferences, moving, having relatives at home to celebrate, etc.
What to pay attention to when refusing a wedding invitation
1. The reason is appropriate
Since you are certain that you do not want to attend the wedding, you should find a suitable reason to refuse, try to choose work or family matters, and do not fabricate overly exaggerated reasons.
2. Don't be unable to say the first sentence
After receiving an invitation from the other party, don't immediately say that you can't go. You can first inquire about the time and location of the wedding, and then ask the people you know who will attend the wedding, saying that you may not be able to go, but try to make time.
3. Contact in person by phone
Refusing a wedding invitation is best done by calling the newlyweds in person. Sending text messages or WeChat messages can appear perfunctory and easily affect each other's relationship. A tone of voice is more persuasive and easier to gain the other person's understanding.
