Guests pulling out disappointment

Frances, 15 of October of 2021 at 23:03 Posted on Planning 0 7
Hi everyone,
Wedding is next weekend & I've had 3 day guests (aunt, uncle & cousin) pull out telling me Wednesday & today. Had 2 evening guests pull out yesterday too. Just feeling a bit deflated & disappointed - I know they’ll be more. Have you got any tips to not let it get to me when it happens? Thanks! 😔

    Don't focus on who can't be there - focus on who can be!

    It's inevitable that some people are going to have to drop out, especially with Covid. Don't take it personally.

    Think the best thing to do is remember as long as your other guests are there thats all that matters dont let it stress you out and just have an amazing day its your day after all x💗 Hope you both have an amazing day x💗

    I think we're going to have the same experience too... I'm trying to avoid being too disappointed by reminding myself that, as long as neither my fiance or I get Covid, we can still get married!

    I’m having the same. Because ours falls half term people have now booked to go away. Their loss!

    Just had another one that’s 6! But my cousin assumed he could bring his 2 children to the evening when I didn’t write their names on the invite so it’s balancing out now. 😂

    I had lots of that too! I panicked initially but with the declines I was ok. I’m coming in now under the room capacity. We’re not having a big day function, it’s just us and the kids on a Thursday afternoon. Then having a big party at the weekend which happens to be Halloween 🤦🏼‍♀️

    I was advised to expect 10% drop out rate - I know it must be disappointing but remember it’s not you, so try not to take it personally x
