Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
: If I invite someone to join me for an event via text or email, and they haven’t responded, how long should I wait before inviting someone else? Sending a casual invite with a deadline doesn’t seem very personable. If I move on to another person, should I let the first choice know? If so, how can I phrase it without sounding like I’m chastising them for not responding promptly?
Deadlines diminish an invitation, and should therefore only be included if reasonable, unavoidable and reasonably unavoidable. A qualifying example would be, “I apologize for the incredibly short notice, but I have one extra ticket for the 8 o’clock show tonight. Would any of you three be able to use it?” A nonqualifying example would add, “I’m at the box office now.”I have a relative who has been living with her boyfriend for a few years now.
