Has anyone ever dealt with with like 40% of the people you invited to your wedding saying "no"? I currently collecting RSVPs and we have so many more no's than I expected. I am trying not to be hurt by it but it does really hurt me. Do you have any advice?
For reference, we are doing a "destination" wedding at a National Park where everyone has to travel at least 4 hours or cross country. We have older family members and members that are from a far that have said no. We have friends that can't travel cross country and friends who have kids that won't travel with them that have also said no.
Like logically I get it but it just feels really hard and upsetting to me that we have spent so much time planning an event and spending that money and then get so many nos.
