For them, an announcement, etc., just won't cut it.

What is bad is being absolutely positive Uncle Bern and Aunt Velma won't come because of their age or whatever - and then getting their RSVP back saying they've decided to leave their home after 50 years and come. Too bad you don't really have room for them because you invited someone else.
One of my coworkers about 2 weeks prior to her wedding sent an email around to some of us (who she hadn't invited previously) saying they had a poor response to their invites and so were inviting us if we wanted to come. That was just the height of tacky to me. If she wanted me there, she should have asked me when the real invites went out.
