It is an unusual approach that will surprise people invited to a wedding. If they do not respond within the timely deadlines, they may receive a “misinvitation” card, created by Nishma Mistry, marketing manager in the nuptial field.
When you are invited to a wedding, you generally receive a save the date, several months, or even a year before the scheduled date. It is often at this point that we learn the happy news. The invitation card is sent a few months later, once the bride and groom finalized the reservation of the room, the town hall and the religious ceremony, so that they can mention the specific dates, the schedules and the address meeting places. An answer is then desired before a certain date. This gives the couple time to organize reception as well as possible. The number of exact people is indeed essential for the caterer, but also to prepare the placement of guests at the table. After this period, several solutions are possible: relaunch guests one by one to know if they will be present, consider that they will not come, or send them a card to prevent them that they cannot be counted among the guests.
This is the surprising idea that Nishma Mistry, 39, decided to develop. This mother of two children, who lives in Atlanta in Georgia, has just launched cards for guests who did not respond to the invitation within the time limit. This card mentions: “We are sorry that you cannot come to our wedding. Our RSVP deadline is exceeded and you unfortunately did not respond. We would have liked you to be present, but the final figures have now been communicated and your presence we will lack“. The objective of this crippling card? Organize a wedding reception without any empty headquarters.
This marketing manager in the nuptial field also believes that it is “reckless” not to respond to a wedding invitation. For her own marriage 14 years ago, the young woman says that she had been forced to call her 550 guests individually to ask them if they would be present or not on D -Day. Of course, the guests who receive this card Have something to get upset, but in most cases, they seem to understand that places are limited and that future husbands have little time in front of them. However, receiving such a card without having a recovery call or SMS, amounts to saying that we do not count much for the person who gets married, and we understand that it can be poorly perceived.
