Couple Sends 'You Are Not Invited' Cards and Asks Guests for Wedding Help

New Delhi, India: A couple preparing for a September wedding is generating buzz with their decision to send “you are not invited” cards to those who won’t be attending. The unusual strategy was shared on Reddit by a user, identified as “joyousfoodie,” who claims to be on the guest list but not invited to the ceremony.  According to post shared by the user, the couple is planning a small, semi-destination wedding five hours from home due to budget constraints. The “not invited” cards are intended to let those excluded from the event know that they are “in our hearts on this special day,” but the timing and intent of these cards have left some puzzled. 

The situation has been further complicated by the couple's requests for assistance from their guests. The bride and groom have asked attendees to help with various tasks, such as setting up the reception tables and picking up items like the cake and flowers. This has led to mixed reactions among those affected.

Here’s how netizens reacted to the post 

One Redditor expressed strong disapproval, suggesting that the wedding's arrangement was disrespectful and advising others to decline the invitation if they were expected to perform labor. Another commenter noted that while some level of help from immediate family might be acceptable, asking guests to handle significant tasks was excessive.

The post has garnered over 500 upvotes and sparked a range of opinions. Some view the requests as a reasonable extension of family involvement, while others see them as a sign of poor planning and a lack of consideration for guests' time and efforts.
