This is for a friend... I need your help wording something. We got some unexpected people not coming so we want to send out a few more invitations but the reply date on our invitations says Aug 21. So I was going to send a little card inside explaining why they hadn't been sent sooner but can't figure out how to word them. HELP!!!

Re: Wording
This is a tough one. I don't think there is an easy way to tell someone in writing that they are on your B list. Maybe tell them in person?

Re: Wording
Can you make another response card with a later date?

Re: Wording
Can you make up a new reply card on your computer... maybe use nice card stock, and a fancy font. It might not match, but at least the date will be different, and you wont have to explain anything.

Re: Wording
That screams 'You are B-List'. I would do a new reply card or not send the invites.

Re: Wording
I would call the B-List people and personally invite them - letting them know that you sincerely wanted them their, but that family commitments and financial constrainst wouldn't allow it.
You can follow up the phone call with the invitation.
They will either understand your position and be honored by the invite, or they'll be ticked off that they weren't 'A-list' --> but bear in mind that if they're ticked off at being B-List, how much more upset would they be to be 'no-list'/not invited at all.
You know your friends/family -- are they cool & easy going -- or high-strung and super-proper/quick to take offense...

Re: Wording
Honestly, I would just send them and pretend they were lost in the mail. Or misplaced and just found. If you don't say anything, they probably won't either. I think it's better not to calll attention to it.
