Bridal party issues

I’m having issues with my bridal party. I’m trying to keep my wedding as small as possible and my fiancé agreed that we only want our close family and friends there. Meaning if we don’t speak to or see someone regularly, they’re not getting an invite. One of my bridesmaids is my college roommate who became one of my best friends, we had another roommate who we didn’t really talk to that much after graduation. She moved back to our city in January and we saw her once, spoke maybe 3-4 times via text and now she basically assumed she was invited 😭 idk what to do.

    “I’m sorry, due to the covid-19 restrictions, we have to keep our guest list to close friends and family only. We’d love to celebrate with you after the wedding once it’s safer!”

    Just tell her exactly what you said in this post, y’all are keeping it as small as possible with just immediate family and leave it at that. She might be disappointed but it needs to be said to avoid further confusion.

    You mentioned that you’re only inviting close family and friends. Unfortunately she does not fall within that category. So, no, I wouldn’t invite her and it’s nothing to feel bad about. FH and I are doing the same as you.... only inviting close family and friends who we regularly speak with and interact with. No “just because” guests.

    I had to do this to keep my ceremony small because of COVID. Just simply say you are just keeping it intimate and I'm sure she will understand.

    FYI unless she was going to be a bridesmaid that's not a bridal party issue, that's a guest issue. Your bridal party includes bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl, ring bearer, bride & groom.

    Yes, we want a small and intimate wedding. I’ll just have to find a nice way to tell her she didn’t make the cut lol

    Just explain to her that she is not invited because space is limited. I agree I hate when people assume.

    She criticized me first and left a condescending remark on my post but only my comments were removed? Alright then.
