On your invite, you could write:
♥️♥️♥️
Save this date
6-7-8
~
Don’t bring a friend or mate
as it’s $40 per plate
and at this rate,
I’ll be in a poorer state
~
We request your presence
to seal our fate
Or better yet, just your presents
that would be superbly great
~
Please don’t be irate
weddings cost a lot of dough
and I’m a cheapskate
as now, most of you know
♥️♥️♥️
The story behind this poem – my friend invited me to her wedding with an RSVP card. I invited a guest and responded to the RSVP card as +1 a few months before the wedding. Then a couple of weeks before the wedding, my friend asked me if I could un-invite my guest. She explained that anyone that didn’t have a husband, she was asking that they don’t invite their guests. I didn’t feel comfortable with this, so I told her she could count both of us out. I also told her, she should have crossed out guest on my RSVP correspondence. For me to have to un-invite my guest – rude!
