[quote=Anonymous]Travel.  Work travel.  That's the best because people get that.

The other is to just rsvp yes, then get sick.

(Of course you could just rsvp no, but I'm assuming that you are trying to avoid family drama)

The one thing I've learned is that even if there is a constellation of factors that lead you to your "no" decision, just pick one factor and stick to it.  For example, if your decision was based on "too far, will miss too much work, will have to leave my young DC too long, don't like DC's babysitter, too expensive, and DH doesn't want to go..."  just pick ONE factor and make that your excuse.  Do not recommend using the $$ one, though, because someone will offer to pay and then you'll be stuck.

Anyways I vote say yes then get sick, for minimal family drama purposes.  A wedding is not the place to make a stand. (although many brides, and guests, try to do that, it's not right imo).  So on that note, if you are saying no because you are making a stand, please reconsider.[/quote]
