Are you inviting all of your sorority sisters?

I am getting married next April in what I thought would be a small wedding. (My reception site only fits 120 people max.) I have already sent out STD to about 112 people. I am rushing in the fall and I know I will be in the sorority by next april. As of now there about 40 sister and with the new ones joining who knows..I know it might seem crazy to think about inviting that many girls whom I might not even know yet but if they're going to be my sister forever I think I will be in contact with them when I am past college.

I can't invite more than 120 at my reception hall but my ceremony site can hold 200 people, would it be wrong to invite them to my ceremony and explain my reception was for family..I mean my STD have been sent to these people already. I can't just back out on inviting them..maybe just hope they decline.

I'm in a sorority too and I only invited those I am closest too though there are many sweethearts who wish me well. I only invited the 20-30 sisters I'm closest to. If I invited all my sorority sisters, it would look more like a sorority reunion than a wedding.

If you invite them to the ceremony, you should also invite them to the reception to celebrate with you. Or else it looks gift-grabby.

I would invite your lineage and maybe five that you're closest to. You can't invite all of them and I would not recommend inviting them to the ceremony but not reception.

It would be offensive to invite people to the ceremony but not the reception. I don't know much about sororities, but I'm guessing you will probably become close with a few girls, but not all 40-50. . .

I only invited my own sorority family and about 4 other girls I was super close with. Not everyone needs to attend.

I am only inviting the ones that were there for the majority of the time I was in college and I have remained close with since graduating.

Since your STDs are already out and you are only just rushing next semester, don't worry about your sisters. They will understand that you had your wedding planned before they became part of your 'family'.

Like PP's I only invited those who I keep in touch with since graduating. Also, 112 (120 max) is not a small wedding. I'd say it was average from what I've seen on here and in person. It is incredibly rude to invite them to only the ceremony and not the reception (and vice versa) and its viewed as extremely gift gabby (even if that's not your intent) and gives off a bad vibe to your guests.
