Ask Amy: What’s a non-tacky way to invite the B-list guests to the wedding?

May 14, 20220

Dear Amy: Our daughter’s overseas wedding was first scheduled two summers ago. Family from both sides (mostly) don’t live there, so with the borders closed, the ceremony was postponed — twice.

Amy Dickinson 

Now the wedding is on, for this July. We are seeing that a number of guests who RSVP’d that they were coming the first two times now say they cannot make it. We will miss seeing them.

So here is the question: Since we already have the lovely venue paid for a specific number of guests, is it tacky to invite those who “didn’t make the first guest list” originally to join us now?

If it is not tacky, how might we even phrase that?

Ask Amy: My wife and I are disciplined. Why are our boys sedentary slobs?

Dear Wondering: When it comes to “tacky,” I take a stance that’s probably more Dolly Parton than Emily Post.

I say, be authentic, be polite, and if you’re backed into a corner be truthful!

Issue your invitations. You might call this event Third Time’s the Charm.

I don’t think it’s necessary to make any reference to previous plans when you invite people.

If prospective guests inquire: “Hey, I thought you didn’t have room for me!” say, “The pandemic really messed with our plans and some close family members can’t make it overseas this summer, so if you are able to join us on relatively short notice, we’d love it!”

Dear Amy: My husband, kids and I live in a different state than most of my family.

We are planning a trip to my family’s state and would like to invite my parents and grandmothers to rent a cabin for a few nights.

I don’t see my grandmothers often as they are not well enough to travel too far. I want to be able to enjoy a wonderful and relaxing trip with them as I am worried about the amount of time I have left to spend with them. I want to create happy memories with them, my parents and children together.

My grandmothers get along great and often spend time together. They are both widowed, but …read more

I’ve lived in a neighborhood for four years where most people keep to themselves. During COVID, I noticed this female neighbor taking multiple walks each day. I introduced myself and sometimes came across her on my walk. She was pleasant but didn’t seem interested in being “friendly.” She was always on her phone every time she left the house. They have a teenage daughter who…

Amy Dickinson He responds in kind, and then insists on an apology, which I give. But when I ask him to apologize for his unkind reaction to my behavior, he says, “You started it, so I don’t need to apologize.” That is how all of our fights end: with him getting an apology and me getting nothing.

We are proud of them, we let them know it, and they know they are loved. However, their personal hygiene…
  • Dear Abby: I know they’ll ask where my husband is. What should I say? DEAR ABBY: My former husband and I have been divorced for more than two years. We had our wedding reception in a club with live music, and we would go there every Saturday night to listen to the music. We were divorced shortly after our marriage because he had frequent violent outbursts. After our divorce, he called and asked if we could have a date night. When I went out with him, it was great. We listened to the musicians,…

On several occasions, young kids have asked me what’s on my arm (the skin is raised and looks odd). Over the years I have alternated between outright…

It’s so upsetting! Why would they ask this? Because she got what she deserved if she did? Without answering their rude question, I explain that my…

These include days of the silent treatment, refusing to celebrate her birthday because he “doesn’t believe in it” and discouraging her from taking a job she was interested in. He refuses to go to counseling and says whatever problems there are between…
