It only hurts the cause
People embrace veganism for a number of reasons.
Some folks are big supporters of animal welfare and also want to protect the environment.
Others might have changed their diet due to health concerns or simply because they prefer vegan food.
Others might push back and argue their case.
In any case, its not a good approach.
To put it bluntly, most people dislike being treated rudely and accused out of the blue.
Go all-out with the caterers on this one.
Have a wide range of delicious, aesthetic dishes that even the biggest steak lovers would enjoy.
Uninviting guests is probably going to be awkward, no matter the situation.
However, they have to be honest about their reasons for doing so.
The same can be said about folks youve had massive arguments with in the run-up to the wedding.
This, of course, is understandable.
According to Bride & Groom Direct, its best if youuninvite someone in person.
Give them as much of a heads-up as possible.
In the meantime, dont play around the issue.
Be as straightforward (but polite) as you could.
They deserve to know the truth about why youre uninviting them.
However, you should not feel like you have to justify your decision: dont argue with them.
Invite them to brunch or dinner after your wedding and honeymoon.
See how you feel about the person then.
Not that I find vegans insufferable, but thats the reason I think it gets so much traction.
Points about the environmental impact of the meat industry, or health benefits, could be mildly convincing.
