Can you uninvite someone after sending a save the date?

Published Jun 30, 2025, 7:23 AM

So, you sent a Save the Date... and now you want to uninvite them? Oof. That’s not just bold - that’s a social plot twist!

Sure, it’s technically not a contract. But let’s be honest: once that card hits their fridge, it’s real. You told them, “You’re in.” Now you’re pulling a disappearing act? Yikes.

Look, we get it. Life changes. Budgets shrink. People show their true colors. But if you’re thinking about snatching that invite back—just know: it’s messy, it’s awkward, and yeah, it might spark drama.

If you have to do it? Be grown. Pick up the phone. Say what’s up. Don’t ghost. Don’t sugarcoat. Do. It. Right.

Wake up with a Bang and the club on nine four seventh.

And in the middle of all of those discussions, this one, you know, entered the WhatsApp group. Can I and I'm asking for a friend?

Yeah?

Can I unsave you? Like, let's say I've sent you to save the date? But no, I don't want you to come anymore, so you just keep quiet. I don't think I want to keep I want to say, hey, listen, I know I told you to save the date, but don't you can release the date asking for a friend here? Totally okay? So can you unsave somebody on save the date? She's like, dude, don't worry about it.

You got to say what it is. It's uninvited, like you're uninviting someone from your wedding.

They're just not making the cut.

Yes you can, I think you can, but within good time, within good time, but also within good reason, because here's where it gets tricky. You've invited someone and you want to uninvite them. You're going to owe them an explanation. Why I think you owe them explain?

Did I give an explanation when I invited you? No?

I think I would just like send the save the date. But then just never send the invite.

No, but no, no, no, no, I'm gonna ask you. They're going to ask you what's happening.

Sorry, we limited space.

Thank you, discussion is done. Thank you so much for attaining this.

Guys, No, don't be a coward, said with your chair.

Yeah.

My thing is if you're going to do something and you just stand to stand ten toes down and say this is why you're no longer inviteds.

Why are you?

Because the question really is why what are the reasons to uninvite someone? I think that's the conversation, right, so, because you're going to have to give them a reason. And yes, limited capacity surely is one of them. But that's tough, one tough pill to swallow if someone said to me, sorry, we invited you, but now you're not one of the two hundred people.

So when I did the record and it just clicked out, they haven't attended any other thing that I've invited them to. And it's always like, oh, no, don't worry, I'll just catch the wedding. I'll catch the wedding. And now we're like, no, actually you're not going to catch the wedding.

Yo.

This like qualifying for an examine, right, do you have to submit sixty percent of the assignment? That?

Yeah, And they don't have any specific reasons for not attending the other events. But to them, it's like, no, no, we'll just skip all of these, but we do, don't worry. We'll definitely make the wedding. And I was just like, actually, no, sometimes you just want to go for the final hey, the same Yeah, look, I mean, well, you know tickets are the final source case. It's ah, it's so difficult to get ahold of those guys.

I think you're allowed.

Though, Yes, in a nutshell, you can uninvite somebody after you have said saved the days. You're allowed to have a change of heart. It's not permanent a it's not a tattoo. It's just it's just an invite to whatever it is that you were supposed to go.

To A double one double A thirty eight nine for seven. Have you ever uninvited someone but now proper uninvited like you said, no, ma'am, you will not be joining us anymore.

Because here's the thing around and invites is that people expect it to be like a blow up, this crescendo, like a fight, a fall out. No, not fighting. We don't have a fall out. But I just feel that, you know, in the in the rankings of things, there are now the other people that I would rather have.

Well, I don't think the fight or fall out memory happens beforehand. I think it's definitely gonna happen after. So after you uninvite, that's when the fight and the fallout happens.

That's what I want to know. So you're asking him, I willing to let this person go as a friend.

I want to ask people. If that's what's happened, you have to let that person go as a friend then forever.

It's fine. I haven't seen them in the year. They're a pen pal at this point. Okay, this very specific. Do you want to shall we just find them?

And this is.

Who I can't.

Let's just let's go and tell us uninvited people.

Guys, please and make an marriage court. Frankie and I want to adjudicate with Sydney.

No, no, I'm not involved a municating anything.

So he's just got her health rate right right, she's not ready to get more accid in there.

I had to invite my husband's friend of our three weddings because each time he RSVP'd for all three weddings, he had a different partner. He's married to start off word, so he wanted to bring girlfriends to the other two weddings.

Maybe his friend is a tour guide.

To wedding and there's the only chance they can see the botanical guardians.

The she k on the grade bus. Yeah, that is in fact, on to the to our Labola celebration. One of our friends called us to tell us that he's not bringing his life and he's bringing an another person. So I said, no, don't worry about coming both of you now. And then he was so shocked, and then he tried to go behind my back and call Basa to be like, ah, you know, tell tell your woman to come down. You know what's the issue. Buzz I was like, no, don't you involve me in it? Yeah, what kind of prime And literally he called me if the event was going to be on a Sunday. He called me the Wednesday before to let me know that his wife is not attending, but he'll, you know, he's going to bring another person. I was like, it doesn't, it doesn't. It's not mean, it's not transferable. That's why White people came with the English. This invite is not transferable, right. It means who I'm telling you to bring is all you're going to bring. That's it, Charline, What do you think can you unsaved save the date?

Hi and Nellie Hi guys absolutely absolutely don't even see them as safe the date, And if you have seen them a safe the date, you can tell me you are not invited. You don't deserve to come to my vings because every time I do invite you, you don't show. And I've paid pay head for certain people and you just feel that you don't come. No explanation, no apologies, nothing. So absolutely you don't even have to tell them, don't send them a safe the date. And if you have and they ask you, you tell them this is why you're not invited.

Solin, What happened to you that you feel like this a RelA.

We are a huge family and we have these really close friends. I love them to us. I'm not mad at them. I know it sounds like I am, but we invited them to weddings of my niece's birthday parties. You always have an excuse. I can't drive at night, I don't want to leave. I have to come back and open my gates and blah blah blah. But you go to any other event where you're coming on two or three o'clock in the move in the morning. And then we invited them to my mom's eight years birthday, catered and paid per head for them, and they accepted, said they come in, and then just didn't Peach isn't know nothing. So we had my dad's seventy first birthday and you don't even get a save the date.

Did an invite them? And afterwards was there any blow up about this? Well, they just like nothing.

Because I think they got it. And that's the thing. If you're going to you know people right and say oh we've reached capacity, people are not going to change. They're not going to stop that respeaking you, So you have to be honest. I agree with Timbi Kilach. Tell them that is why ten times down, this is why you're not coming.

So I like you. God, I've got to war with you, okay, Charlene. I will take what you have said under consideration.

Thank you, Thanks Helene.

I like this though.

I agree, Well I must tell them why you can't, just.

Because they must sit with the knowledge that they have failed as a friend, failed as a loved one to show up for you.

But also I just feel like if I haven't seen you, seen you in a year, it's okay. Hey, we're going to be good. We're not close. I think you and I we must we must be felt under the bumping into each other friendship acquaint Yeah you, I bumped in and then we had a drink. Or I bumped in and we took it, we got a slice of cake. I think as far as like effort goes in like building this friendship.

No, we need I mean another topic for another day, but we need to reevaluate the word friend. You're allowed to say a person I went to school with somebody, my colleague, uh, my friend, my child used to be friends that I know her because she's the mom of one of my friends, my children's friends or whatever.

But we don't.

We're not friends with everybody because as soon as you're friends, then we expect to save the day that we expected.

Oh but here's a thing, here's a thing. Maybe we must treat friendship like Michelin stars. You know, a Michelin star that you get like a.

Three star frame and a two star friends and.

You can lose your Michelin Star if you're raised to run no longer. Yes, you know, to the at the standard it was that it was when it won the Michelin starre it can lose the Michelin Star. So let's fraenden.

Now that you as what a muchachos?

Now, hey, don't you dare not those muchatos chicken cheeseburgers and the wings you see? No, then find someone out. You leave machados out of the conversation.

No, you cannot uninvite me immediately when you invite me, even if you say sae.

If they did, I already have an outfit in mind. I'll go to buy the outfit imaging.

And when you have to uninvite me, oh, I'm raising my kids with the knowledge that friendship is fluid. You've got three categories. Category one, I like you, you like me. We get on, we make time for one another. Category two, I bump into you. You're an acquaintance. It's nice to see you when I see you, but.

We leave it at that.

Category three, I don't like you, and we stay out of one another's way, And chances are they probably don't like you. So people do exist in category three and make peace with it.

But in your case now, it's not necessarily a category three kind of situation.

I think I would say years ago this person was a category one, but now we've reached category two. And it's not that I don't like them, it's just I don't find them to be present.

Well, you're not as close to them as you used to be used to be, and there's reasons for that, and that's fine, but you did send the save the date and that's how we got here. So obviously, if you've invited someone to an event, you should have considered this before inviting them.

But that's not an invite. Said that, there is not an invite. That's why there's an invitation that follows. Okay, all right, that's the loophole amusing Michelle Good moody.

Morning, Andy, are you Michelle? So my husband's been invited on the sixtieth birthday exclusive fishing trip Harland's Lodge, Halland's Gate something on it. And they are a group of friends, and I understand that there's a certain number of people that are allowed to be invited, but there's been a scuffle between two of the guests and someone else got told that if the situation isn't sorted out, you are next in line. And now this scuffle has been sorted out, and so this guy who got a promise of going to this trip is now no longer able to go. And you know, I heard someone I was saying something like buying an outfit or whatever. You know, it's fishing trips. I'm not a big I'm not involved in the whole fishing thing. I actually don't like it. But you buy stuff in advance, and I think I believe this place is quite exclusive. And now he's not allowed to tur him anymore because the scuffle has been sorted out. He shouldn't have been told about the trip in the first place. In my opinion, I don't know if there's a bro code or whatever it is, but this poor guy I mean about it, I think.

But to be fair, he was broken under six like he was. He was sixth broke, but he was aware that he's sixth broke, you know. Unfortunately the five bros.

Ready, I think you sound like my husband, like he says, it's a certain bro code. He knew about the trip, he was excited about going, but now that he's been told he can't go, it's like, it's okay. I'm like, it's not a car.

It's not okay, Michelle. I am, but I if he wants to fix this, I have a plan. He must cause another scuffle. He's a loose forward, guys. He's just you know what I'm saying. He's he's not part of this tight pack.

And I mean he knows.

Easily interchangeable exactly, just like we'll call you when we need exactly.

I just think it's awful, It's absolutely awful. He shouldn't have been told, he shouldn't have been given a promise.

Don't tell him.

Rather wait until I don't know it's been sorted out, and if there is a place, a definite place, then.

Tell him exactly. I know. I do agree with you. You have to create your own positions at work. Guys.

You can't send us saved the day cause the scuffle.

The scuffle make them fight again. Oh look at the space freed up? Can you have good money in the clouds? Okay? So you are pregnant, yes, thank you, okay, And your sister's not organizing a baby shower for you.

I've happened to find out organizing my partner, my sister organizing a surprise baby shot, and I happened to find out because my mom was not too secretive about it. But then also then I have to keep it a secret that I do know because partner really is adamant on having.

A surprise thing.

So then I concerned with my sister about this whole surprise thing. And then she also didn't want to really tell me because they all know that I don't like surprises. But I'm like, okay, but I already know now, So she tells me, I'm not okay, fine, I'm not going to mess up anything, but just tell me who's on the gasee list. She tells me who's on the gasee list. Then I've got a very good friend, like bordering based friend. Right. She loves dragging her sister like to everything. She thinks that this sister needs to be a plus wife, even situations where there's no need for a plaus wife. You know, this is a baby shower. It's an intimate thing.

I'm not.

Now.

My sister already said you save the date and any day, and I tell her I don't want a sister there because you said that there's a numbers thing and I've got a very good friend that i'd much rather to be there, So now you need to uninvite her and then invite the friends so they're my sister's Like yeah, but now she was even forcing because even in like getting this whole surprise that going on, she wanted the sister to also help my sister, you know, get me access because she feels like we've got the same tas And I'm not, no, we don't like stop it stop.

Why are they forcing this friendship between you and.

She's so young? So no, anyway, now it's the whole thing my friend now, because my sister has uninvited her, my friend does not want to come. And I'm like, that's fine, that's okay.

Your best friend does not want to come to your baby shower. Her sister doesn't invite it. She can walk. It's okay. That's not your best friend then, and then you know what and what's lovely. It means she is her sister's bes friend and that's wonderful. You don't want to come between families like that, Please go take it elsewhere. But me, I'm not friends with your and I agree with you. Yeah, this happens a lot, can you stand your groundcle.

Stand your ground because because you were you were the best friends for the best friend for you was your best friend. But for your best friends her sister.

And that's fine and that's okay. But what I'm not going to do is be FOROCE into some social interaction friendship with your sister. When my baby shower, bro, do it. Also do that somebody else is something. But the worst thing is Kanye for a person that doesn't know about her baby showers just calling the shots a lot. Back to making your morning and the club on nine four seven
