My sil cancelled her wedding a month ago but JUST sent an announcement out last week that the wedding is off. Her wedding is next week. I just think it is so wrong to notify people last minute like that.
Do you agree that announcements should be sent out immediately?

She was probably hoping things would work out and they would still get married. Or she might have been dreading the embarrassment and sympathy /questions from everyone, so she waited until the last minute.
If I was planning to attend and had hotel/flight plans, I might be annoyed that she waited that long, but I would feel bad that the relationship fell apart and she had to go through that.

thats rude to do so last minute if she knew a month ago the wedding was cancelled. even if she wasnt up to calling people she could have asked other friends and family to help out. and sending out an announcement is kind of tacky too. at least call to make sure people know and get the message.

Yes. If it's off then you have to let people know before they start getting off work, getting gifts or outfits for the wedding. But waiting last minute probly wasn't a good idea. I mean maybe she thought there might have been a chance the calling off would change and it would be on again. who knows. But ya it's kinda rude to let guests know last minute.

I am thinking that since she called the wedding off there had to be a logical reason for it. I can't imagine that letting the guests know that she had to publicly embarrass herself like that was an easy thing to do. Emotionally I cant imagine that notifying everyone was the first thing on her list of things to do when her heart is broken.. Give her a little slack here folks.

It takes time to get the announcements printed and mailed. A week's notice is enough time.

out of etiquette, announcements should be sent out immediately. but put yourself in her shoes, if your wedding was suddenly called off, you would be dread informing family and friends. you would put off calling everyone up and telling them not to show on your wedding day. she probably thought that the best way to do it was to simply send out an announcement (to save face and cut her losses)

they could of been trying to work things out but yes she should of notified people by mail earlier or at least given personal phone calls to the guests.

I would think so, especially if people had taken time off of work in order to attend.

That's extremely inconsiderate. Maybe she was holding out 'cause she thought the wedding might go on. Or maybe she's in denial. Oh well, it makes her look bad, not you!
