I dont agree with a marraige and need to RSVP stating that I will not be attending - what should i say?


Question: this is a blank write-your-own rsvp card. i dont agree with the wedding because it is homosexual marraige. i still care for the friend - just not what she is doing.
Answers: It is an RSVP card, not a what do you think card. Just send it back, with a simple will not attend . If she asks you why, then you are being asked for your opinion and can give it.
how about No thanks
You should write will not attend . But I'm guessing that you'll hurt her feelings and your friendship will never be the same.
Just don't respond and tell her you misplaced your RSVP card. That way, you do not have to hurt her feelings.
Keep your opinion to yourself, You want to stay freinds? Just say. I regret that I cannot attend. Anything more, she will hate you.
if you are no willing to go and be happy for them , then do not go .. this day is a happy one for them . I do not agree with it either , but some times we just have to step back and let people do what they want .. tell them you have other plans that you can not break .. like you have to go out of town ,, good luck
Honesty spoken in love is always the best policy.
If you are her real friend then it wouldn't matter whom she's marrying you would be there with bells on your feet and you would be happy for her...it's her day not yours...don't ruin it because of your beliefs...
congratulations on your upcoming nuptials i am very happy for you unfortunately i am unable to attend due to a previous engagement i wish you all the best and your present is in the mail


even though you dont agree still wish them happiness and dont ruin the frienship by showing your displeasure
If I was you I wouldn't RSVP at all. I only RSVP if I'm gonna be there.
I'd just say something like Thank you for the invitation, but I will not be attending. If the person is a friend, she will likely know your views on homosexual marriage, but there is no need to put that in your RSVP. But still, be honest enough to say that you will not be attending and not something like I will not be able to attend, or I have previous plans for the day. Should get your point across while still being polite.
Just say that you are unavailable that day.
Just write Can't attend. Thanks for the invite . I don't think it is appropriate to write down your true feelings or even be rude. This is someone else's wedding, their decision, and you shouldn't go to them with why you don't feel it's right. I think by not attending, that says enough :)
Apparently you haven't been completely honest with your friend or she would have known you well enough to NOT invite you...
You should go, and during the does anyone have any reason why these two should not be married speak now or forever hold your peace part you should stand up and tell the whole service why you do not agree with the marriage and walk out.

seriously, no one ever does that.
how about,..... im a narrow minded bigot who does not care for the happiness of my friends
Just put you will not be attending.The couple is getting married no matter how you feel so just keep it simple and polite.
Tell her you apologize but for personal reasons you will not be able to attend.
That's tough. Wouldn't want to be you on that one. If you really cherish the friendship, suck it up and go. Depending on your circumstances and how close you are, you could just write the word regrets on the card and mail it back.
Say
I am so sory for the choice that you have made but I do not agree with it and will not be attending the ceramony.
Thank you for the invatation.
write her a congratulations and sorry i can't make it. If she's your friend, write another separate note, or talk to her and tell her how you feel. Say you love her and care about her as a friend, but you can't go to something taht you don't agree with or approve of. It may be hard for her, but if you two are friends then hopefully she'll understand.
RSVP= R=eally S=illy V=agina P=lans, sorry I can't support the union. Good Luck.
cant attend,my gud fren. pressures,u know.
That is your freedom of choice, if you don't want to go then don't. Just treat her as a friend should and simply say no thank you. If she knows you at all and knows your views on how you feel, then she should respect that as well.
Dear friend,please forgive me but i can not attend your wedding.But i give you the best of luck.
Just write:

I'm sorry that I have to decline your invitation.

If she asks why, have some balls and tell her.

I don't agree with you but I respect your opinions. You have to weigh whether or not your support as a friend is condoning what you feel isn't morally right.
wow thats a tough one, all I can say is you might be better off telling her to her face that way you guys can talk about it and still be friends, She hopefully will appreciate your honesty, just dont forget that your feelings wont stop her wedding.
Be simple if you write it If it was me Id liek to her
something like
dear___,
I have recieved your invitation for you wedding. congratualtions I am happy for yada yada,
however I will not be attending as I do not agree with your desicion. I apologize for the view that I have but I felt that it was appropriate for me to tell you.
best regards,
yadayada
thats straight forward and to the point, showingyour happy shes happy but dont agree with what shes doing
All shes doing is pledging her love to another woman whats so wrong about that,why shouldn't she have her special day and be surrounded by the people who love her,just talk to her tell her how you feel after all you are supposed to be friends!
Just reply that you and a guest will not be attending. You don't have to give an explanation as to why.
Just decline and say you're unable to attend. But do NOT give your opinion on her life choices. She's not asking for it. But in the meantime, I think you should reconsider. If you truly care for your friend, you may not agree with her choice, but I think you should still be supportive and go. Wish her well, no matter what.
Write a thank you note for them inviting you but enclose at the bottom that it is your deepest regret that you can not attend. DO not give an explanation because and rsvp is just say you will or will not attend, not why. If she asks I hope you will be honest and tell her you are her friend and all, but could not attend a homosexual marriage because of personal conflict.
