covid new wedding date, new guest list?

Alexine, on June 13, 2020 at 6:58 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

Hi All!

FH and I have always planned to have a small intimate affair for our wedding. When we first made our guest list, FH really wanted to keep both sides even. I invited a few of my family members, restricting to mostly aunts and uncles. I got word one of my cousins *really* wanted to come to our wedding, and I didn't have the heart to say no....FH agreed and told me to invite them. When he realized I had quite a few people more from my side on our guest list, FH kindly asked me to not invite one of my friends and her SO. Now because of COVID, we have had to set a new date. Four of my family members cannot come now (including my cousin that I was not originally going to invite) due to international travel. Needless to say, now I regret not pushing to invite this friend who I have been close with the past 2.5 years an dwould really like for her to come.

We technically sent our first invites back in January, and planning to send a postponed date card this coming week. If I were to invite my friend, I was thinking of sending her the original invite (minus the details card asking to rsvp by March) with the postponement card as well as a personal note that we have decided to extend invites to close local friends.

Would it be tactless for me to invite her now? I keep second guessing myself that it will come off as rude or awkward even though I am coming from a good place-- she is certainly not a back-up choice, or a 'B-list'; I just accidentally found myself in a situation where I wanted to invite more people than my FH would agree to. Thanks in advance Smiley heart
