Is it normal to turn down wedding invitation then turn up?

It's literally my boss' wedding and I didn't RSVP. But now I'm thinking it would be more awkward if I didn't go.

Is It Normal?

  • Tell him you forgot to RSVP. I'm sure he'd understand.
    I think if you decided not to go at all, when he expected you to come (I assume you have at least a semi-close relationship with him), he might think twice if you ask for a pay rise, or if you need help in future.

    • He asked me a week ago and my co-worker butted in and said she was going, and I didn't really answer. I'm not seeing him today, and it's tomorrow. Should I just turn up or would that be even ruder?
      I did actually answer yes to him a month ago but he obviously forgot.

      • They need to organize seats and foods for each individual guest, and if you didn't accept to go formally there may be neither for you. I'd deffo just ask your boss just in case, to avoid confusion and awkwardness on his big day. Maybe try to get in contact with him somehow and ask.
        It may be embarrassing if you get there and you're asked to leave as no space for you or meal prepped for you, or you're left standing around out of place.

        • It was actually just the party but too late now, wasn't expecting to see him but he came into work to collect something and went out again. I didn't want to go because I was the only one without a plus one so I would've been standing out of place anyway.
