Overview
Be patient if a certain social invitation isn't being greeted with all the enthusiasm you had hoped for. Many of the people on your guest list have a lot going on in their lives that they aren't letting you in on -- and their time is not quite their own. This is nothing you should take personally. Consider rescheduling or changing the venue. Working around the needs of other people isn't inconvenient for you, and it will be a lovely gesture of how important they are to you.
