5x uitnodigingsproblemen

You can probably imagine that we at Amayzine receive quite a few invites. For launches, dinners, fashion shows, interviews, you name it. We think it's really cool, especially the exclusive invitations. Then you feel like one of the lucky ones. But sometimes, very rarely, invitations can be difficult. Or awkward. And so it was time for a round of invite issues.

1. The pity invite

Is a real concept. The invite that you receive so last minute that you get the feeling that you received it out of pity. Or worse: as if the people from the A and B list have kindly declined and now the C list (on which you are) is being approached. The pity invite is painful.

2. The de-invite

It is a well-known Dutch actor whose name I will not mention here to come across seriously: the invitation that is later - and I'm not joking - REVOKED. “We really regret it, but unfortunately something went wrong which means we have too many guests and we unfortunately now have to….” Ai ai aii. This cannot be, people.

3. The overenthusiastic invite

Received an invitation for an Easter brunch in December. Apparently, it exists.

4. The stalk invite

07:38 AM: “Dear Kiki, how are you? We would like to invite you to event X. Will you be there?”

09:42 AM: “Dear Kiki, how are you? We would like to invite you to event X. Will you be there?”

11:12 AM: “Dear Kiki, how are you? We would like to invite you to event X. Will you be there?”

04:07 PM: “Dear Kiki, how are you? We would like to invite you to event X. Will you be there?”

Then something must be wrong in the administration. I hope so.

5. The misplaced invite

An invitation to go to a stamp collector's fair in Zeeland. Really nice that people think of you. But, do you really think it’s going to be a good match? Really? Although, maybe I should just go. Might yield a great story. Or will I not be welcome after this post? Well, invites, no one said it would be easy.
