Similarly, if people I know don't invite me to something I don't think too long or hard about it. No harm, no foul. I received a fake, very late invite to a wedding once. I didn't go. I was judged for that by several in my circle but I didn't care. If you want me at your wedding, have the good manners to invite me when you send out initial invites...not to replace someone who bailed. I thought that was rude but I was deemed rude for declining. Ah well

I totally agree with you. I am the same way. And with the wedding invite, yeah most likely you were only invited as a back up guest because someone bailed for some reason. I agree, if someone wants you at a wedding, then they will invite you when the initial invitations are sent. I don’t think you were rude to decline. If anything, the person sending the invitations was kind of rude. I would have declined as well.
