How do you politely uninvite someone to an event without raising dislike suspicions?

I invited someone to come to my BBQ and now I regret it. This person is actually a very close friend of mine but I no longer want them to attend for personal reasots.
I'll choose best answer for the most creative :)

Sorry man the BBQ is cancelled, my uncle got stopped at the border so he can't come and it was a BBQ in his honour and now I am really sad and don't want to talk about it... ever

There is a yard capacity at my grandparents place so I can't invite too many people, so ill have to uninvited some people... sorry

Its a vegetarian BBQ so no meat and I know you love meat so sorry it won't be much fun or much point of you attending

It was originally suppose to be an open BBQ but my parents wanted it to be just family... sorry you can't come... next time!

We decided to have the BBQ in Canada and I know since you got caught on drug charges you can't cross the border. Im sorry man we will have a BBQ another time closer to home so you can come

The BBQ is not this weekend its next weekend. (actual BBQ this weekend)

Justin Bieber will be at my BBQ... I know you can't stand him, so I guess you won't come then, right?

Your ex will be at my BBQ it could be get awkward maybe you should come.

So, you remember I said I was having a BBQ, well it runs out is probably gonna rain so we are postponing it to another date... but ill let you know when we do have another

My parent really want a themed BBQ so you will have to wear a costume and I know you hate themed events, so Ill let you know when we have another BBQ without a theme.

You know the 3 girls you cheated on your girlfriend with they are friends with my brothers and ther are coming to the BBQ. So, you and your gf should not come to my BBQ... things could get really complicated... Thats what friends are for... I got your back bro!

I have this BBQ once a month and they have always attended with mutual friends. There are never any family members!

[northernligths]

ok, so you tell him the BBQ is at say 8pm but its actually at 2pm!

Give them a nice little greeting card, write in something along the lines of "I hereby absolve you of all responsibility to attend my (sure to be crappy) barbeque. Yours Truly- _____". To be accompanied by an I. O. U. and a gift basket.
Kidding, make it somehow so that it seems only your family is supposed to be there or something? Or tell them you have something better in mind to do together later.

First part was creative. But I have no family members attending. Only mutual friends..

"It was originally suppose to be an open BBQ but my parents wanted it to be just family... sorry you can't come... next time!"

This. It's polite, reasonable, and may not even be a full lie haha

[Asker]

It's a BBQ with friends only. And half of them are mutual friends.

[AnimeDreama]

Oh shit. Um... I have no idea then o. o I've never been in that situation D:

[Asker]

>.<
Help!!

[Helloanswer]

You simply can't lol you'd have to tell them the honest truth

[Asker]

You sure?

[Helloanswer]

I'm dead sure can I ask what the personal reaason is?

[Asker]

They are bringing a significant other that everyone dislikes.

[Helloanswer]

Shit that's a hard situation... but really she shouldn't stop you
and your friends from having a good time. Just ignore her... most mature thing to do really is to suck it up.. you've already invited him and you'll look like an asshole if you uninvite him.

How to Uninvite Someone from a Party

It's happened to the best of us - you've thrown a party, and somebody you really didn't want to invite has shown up. Whether it's that creepy guy from your office, your ex-boyfriend who just won't take the hint, or your next-door neighbor who's always crashers parties, getting rid of an unwanted guest can be tricky. But with a little bit of finesse (and maybe a little bit of alcohol), you can politely uninvite somebody from your party without making a scene.

Here's how:

• The first step is to make sure that the person you want to uninvite is actually not welcome. If you're not sure, take a quick poll of your other guests to see if they're as uncomfortable as you are. If they are, then it's time to take action.
• The next step is to approach the person you want to uninvite and explain that there's been a change of plans and that unfortunately they'll have to leave. It's important to be as diplomatic as possible here - there's no need to be rude or confrontational. Simply explain that the party is now private and only for invited guests.
• If the person you're trying to uninvite is being particularly stubborn, you can offer to call them a taxi or give them some money for a ride home. In most cases, this will be enough to convince them to leave.
• If all else fails, you can always call the police and explain that you have an unwanted guest who refuses to leave. In most cases, the police will be happy to help you remove the person from your property.

So there you have it - a few simple tips for uninviting someone from your party. Just remember to stay calm, be polite, and in most cases, the unwanted guest will eventually take the hint and leave.

You don't uninvited someone once you asked, it's rude. Adults need to be adults and respect whomever is around them they don't like out of decency. But if you don't want them there for a serious reason I. e they're an alcoholic and cause trouble you give them a choice. Behave or I will ask you to leave. I guess it depends on your reason why you decided they weren't welcome at your BBQ.

I don't want them over because they asked if they could bring their significant other who is disliked by everyone!
