How do you write on the wedding card to say not to attend the party?
The small card that comes with the wedding invitation you should write in it that you are sorry, but you can not attend. Then put the card in the self address envelope that already has a stamp on it and mail it off as soon as possible. If you know the person well then you could phone and let them know what you cannot attend even after sending the reply. Etiquette states if you are invited to a wedding and cannot attend you should still send a wedding gift as it is an honor to be invited to that person's wedding.
Did President Regan attend wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana?

What do you do if you don't receive a wedding invitation and you're invited to the wedding?
Personally, I would contact the bride and the groom and see whether you are still invited to the wedding. :)
If you decline a wedding invitation do you still need to send a gift?
I don't think you should if you weren't invited to the wedding. In polite society, gifts are NOT to be expected. If you want to send a gift it is up to you whether you get an invitation or not.
Is it appropriate to send an invitation to someone who couldn't possibly attend?
It is still considered formal to send an invitation to someone who should be invited but cannot attend.
Should you attend the wedding of your ex-girlfriend if you're invited?
That's totally up to you. Are you on good terms with her? I suspect you are; otherwise she would not have invited you. If you guys have remained friends after the breakup, attending her wedding seems natural. Do you still have feelings for her? Well, that's another kettle of fish. If going will make you miserable, why put yourself through that? Weddings are supposed to joyous events -- for everyone.
Can you invite guests to bridal shower if they are not invited to the wedding due to venue constraints?
You can, of course, but a great deal of tact will be required since it's only human nature for those not invited to the wedding to wonder how you reached the decision to invite others and not them.On the other hand, there could be resentment if you invite friends to neither the shower nor the wedding!One idea might be to make it a special shower, maybe with champagne and good finger food, and explain privately to each person not invited to the wedding how bad you feel at not being able to fit everybody in, but there simply isn't room.Perhaps you could give them, privately again, a small gift - a keepsake - of the wedding and suggest that once you're settled following the honeymoon, you'll give a simple, intimate party just for them. Do this before the wedding, otherwise it might appear to some that you feel they're upset and are simply trying to pacify them.
How should I honor or recognize my father at my wedding even though he is in prison?
You may seek special permission for him to attend the wedding while under guard, this may be a rigorous and involved process and as such, may not be doable. Alternatively, you may seek to include him in a video conference for the event, as this will still let him 'attend' and see the wedding as it occurs.
Do you send a wedding gift if you haven't been invited to the wedding of a co-worker?
yes! It's something to be celebrated and even though they didnt invite you, you can still be polite about it.
How should a stepmother attend a stepdaughters wedding if the two of them do not get along?
She doesn't have to unless she's been invited by the stepdaughter herself. But if she needs to go for the sake of her husband, who is the father's daughter, then she should but limit interaction with the bride. She probably would do the bride more favor by not being there, except that people might be looking for her, than she's there and still people would talk. I think it's best that they deal with their issues first so that both of them can be comfortable at the wedding. In the end, it's the bride's call.
Why Regan and not Obama to Royal wedding?
Ronald Regan was more popular with the Royals than the Obamas. England is still angry that the USA took it to war with Iraq (under George W. Bush in 2003). But George H.W. Bush was invited to the wedding. The above is not true. Charles and Diana's wedding was a state occasion and so other heads of state were invited. William is not yet Prince of Wales and his wedding was not a state event, it was private.
Do you still send a wedding invitation to someone who says they will be out of town?
Yes, you should still send a wedding invitation to anyone who will be out of town on the day of your wedding so they have the opportunity of keeping it as a memento.
