  • If you other commitments then let the person who is inviting you know your reasons. If you have personal reasons for declining then it's better to tell a little white lie as to why you are not going rather than hurt the person giving the social event. Example: 'Thank you for your kind invitation, but unfortunately I have another commitment on the same date.'

How do you regret a baby shower invitation?

ID1110000304's answer: I would say a white lie. Something like I'm really busy that day or you can just tell the truth. Baby Cachet's answer: Declining a baby shower invitation can be tricky, but can also be done properly and with grace. Typically, the goal is to decline in such a way as to not hurt the host's feelings and to not jeopardize your chances of getting another invitation in the future. For most situations, the following tips should help ease the process of declining an invitation: * Respond in kind. If the invitation was extended to you through an invitation card by mail, then you should decline via a card by mail, usually by mailing the enclosed response card. Likewise, if you were invited over the phone, then you should also decline by phone. Exception: If the invitation by mail specifies a RSVP phone or email, then it is acceptable to decline by phone or email even though you received a paper invitation. * Decline as soon as you can. If you're sure that you won't be able to attend, let the hostess know before the RSVP deadline so that she can make planning adjustments. It wouldn't be nice or proper to wait until the last minute and say that "something came up". * Show that you appreciate the invitation. It's important to express how much it means to you that the hostess thought of inviting you. This will go a long way in ensuring that she'll think of you again when the next party comes. * Be as honest as you can without being hurtful. Give as truthful a reason as you can as to why you won't be able to attend. "I have [an event] already planned for that day", "I have to work", "I'll be traveling that week". * Keep it short and sweet. You want to remain as truthful as you can without giving too much details or embellishments. It's easy to say too much and stray away from the true reason why you're declining. * Send a gift anyways. If you have a weak excuse or feel badly about rejecting an invitation (maybe you had to accept another invitation over this one), a great way to make up for it is to send a gift to the hostess or guest of honor in your absence. The gift can be a token gift (bouquet of flowers, a cake, etc.) with a note to express your regret.
