Hi there,
I'm pretty sure I've made my bed and now I must lay in it, but I thought I'd see if anyone else has thoughts that could help me remedy this.
My fiance and I are having a small wedding, close family and friends only, that is in our new hometown but will be a destination for 95% of the guests. There are currently 62 people on the invitation list, and while the venue technically can hold that, honestly it's going to be really tight. We're kind of counting on and hoping that some won't show due to the 3000+ mile journey they'll have to take but at this point it actually sounds like most are strongly considering it, so it may be a very full house.
So here's my problem. I have a group of girlfriends that I am close with, one woman in particular I am closer to than the rest. I ultimately decided not to include any of them on the list, as I just had to make some cuts and I didn't want to invite one of them and not all of them. They're all married or have serious boyfriends, so the number will add up quickly. A couple of weeks ago, I was in the town they all live in and went out with them one night. I had way too much to drink and ended up privately telling the woman I am closest too that she will be invited..
Is it a must that I send out an invite just to her now? Should I tell her no one else in that group is invited and ask her not to say anything? Damn alcohol!
Thanks for your thoughts.
