Invitations for b list

Hi Heather! Congratulations on ordering your invitations. That’s such an exciting step! What is the design like?

Wedding etiquette tries to avoid an invitation B-list at all costs. You want to spend your wedding day with guests that you couldn’t imagine not inviting, you aren’t merely trying to fill up your venue to maximum capacity. If you want guests to be at your wedding, send them an invitation. If your FMIL wants to invite people that you don’t, then this is a discussion that you should have with her. You don’t want any of your guests to feel like they are just making up numbers or invited as an afterthought.

I am a bride who did a B list. and i think people think it's rude because it's sort of obvious that they weren't a priority to begin with but my B list were people my mother in law wanted but didn't have room for because i capped her so in all honesty she legit wanted them but i didn't allow her due to space. so i think if your MIL is honest in saying i really wanted to have you but was restricted in capacity but now that there is room, i'd love to have you come if you can.

for those invites, do what the other comments said, you can fill in the addresses later right or have your MIL pay for them because she wants it.
