Do you invite your Hair/makeup pros?

From what I saw on here recently you're not obligated to invite MUA and hair stylists if you're not paying them to stay for touch ups.

Its not a must to invite vendors like MUAs & hair stylist. She probably considers you a friend, which is why she said that. She probably doesn't realize you aren't that close to her.

A lot my brides invite me, which I have honestly always found kinda odd. I don't usually stay though. I charge by the hour if they want me to stay for touchups.

Thanks, all. And good point on feeding the vendors. That makes sense. She is a kind lady and I do like her. I just left all the former teammates from that league off, as a number of them (not her) would just view it as a party opportunity and that's it. I appreciate the feedback.

I only invited my MUA/hair stylist since I considered her and her husband friends. I still paid her a considerable amount--even though she did give a discount

I did not invite her assistant to our wedding, as I met her the day of. (but knew she was bringing an assistant).

Her assistant didn't stay.

You're not obligated to invite them, I agree with what @FFW said.

I would also be taken aback if she mine said that to me. Since you have an outside relationship and you have somewhat included her to be a part of your special day, I also am not too surprised that she would assume she is invited. It is completely up to you. If it were up to me, I would probably just extend the invite in this case lol. It might save a very awkward conversation about how she is not invited, and then you might also feel awkward the day of when she is making you pretty

I used to work with the hair stylists and MUA for our wedding. I have invited them as guests since they're still my friends too.

Nope you're not obligated to invite them.

I'm inviting my MUA because I've known her for over seven years and consider her a friend.
