How to invite "b" list guests?

Erica, on March 28, 2020 at 7:46 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

What do you say to guests from the "b" list that you invite later on????

Keep in mind our wedding was originally planned for April 5 and is postponed until July.....

I can't just send invitations with the original wedding date! And if I send the card that says we've postponed until July (without speaking to them first), it will be quite confusing for them!

So, what's the most tactful and elegant way to invite people after the fact????

    There’s no tactful way to b-list your less important friends and family.

    Would it be terrible to say, "we were having a small family wedding in April but postponed until July and would love it you would join us as we have decided to include our friends now."

    ?????

    I would just print new invitations with the updated wedding date.

    You could always call and just tell them that the venue has allowed more people now and would appreciate there attendance
    If they get all mad that they were not a list just say originally it was small but with all going on you want to have all friends and family attend.

    Or like the one person said just print new invitations and avoid everything. That is what we wound up doing and now we will do again because we have had to postpone now again.

    I invited B list people but those were people off my mother in laws list that she didn’t get to invite at first due to capacity. For me that didn’t matter because that was her list and she didn’t pay for the wedding aha but for her to invite them was very easy because she literally could say there was no room allotted for her to but that she had wanted to and now there is so she would love it if they came. So you could very well say with your new July date there is more room

    I think they would find out the wedding was supposed to happen before they were even invited....

    I may just keep to the original guest list because there is no tactful way around this.

    Especially now that my fh is saying oh, and if we add these 2 couples we have to add this third couple too. Meanwhile he rarely sees these people!

    Well, shoot, I have 4 friends I would like to have with their 4 spouses too!

    But we can only fit so many people in that space....
