Bumping people up to the day time doo!?!?!?

Saj, 21 May, 2008 at 09:20 Posted on Planning 0 4

Hi,

We have sent all of our invites out (both day and night time) but there are a few people who can't make the daytime, so we wanted to bump some guests up to take their place.

Do you think it's ok to say they were our first reserve and ask if they would like to come to the whole thing?

H2B thinks this is really bad now that they know they were only invited to the night time.

Any ideas??

    Hi,

    Hmmm. Difficult situation. I think I'd be a bit offended to be obviously 'bumped up' but if it was done skillfully, seeing more of them etc and seemed natural as if suddenly you really wanted them there and did?n't know them enough before it might work!

    As long as you are honest and say that due to numbers they couldnt be invited to the day, but as a few people cant come you would like them to, i think its fine.

    We did this, we just said that we had calculated wrongly and that we'd really love it if they could come to the whole thing - they did, and i've never heard anything bad ?

    I did this on Saturday (last minute drop outs) for my wedding on Sunday. I asked a friend whether she'd like to get ready a bit earlier and come along to the day and she was really pleased. Most people know you're limited on numbers and she said she was so please she was so high up the 'reserve list'. If someone asked you, you wouldn't think oh, they're bumping me up, you'd think ooh I get to go to the whole thing now!
