Invite advice.

Lynna, on August 25, 2021 at 9:01 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10
I could use some advice. I am wondering do I need to invite someone that invited me to there wedding? More information. I was only in invited to this person wedding because I'm close to there dad. But not close to this person in general. Would it terrible of me to not invite this person to my wedding?

    If you’re not close to them you don’t need to invite them. I am not inviting someone even though I was invited to their wedding. We just aren’t as close anymore, and that’s okay. Relationships change.


    Also, I’m going to be a grammar nut here… it is “their” when speaking in possessive form, not “there”

    Probably not necessary, mayyybe the only exception might be if their wedding was very recently.

    Invites are not tit for tat. Make a list of the people closest to you that you can’t imagine the day without. Only they get invites.

    Just because you were invited to someones wedding does not give them an auto invite to yours. There are plenty of people’s weddings I’ve been to and they aren’t getting invited to mine.

    I’m 35 and I didn’t invite some people who I went to their weddings or was invited when I was in my 20s. The older you get the more all your friends are married so you have to invite spouses so it limits your ability to invite your friends. Also sometimes you lose touch w people or gain new friends over time. Your invite list is not limitless and people get that!

    No you're not obligated to if you don't want to!

    Hi ! I actually invited people who invited me to a wedding when I was 6 ;-) - just some extended family of my dad. My parents thought It would be good to make the gesture.. They politely declined, having some other family plans... no harm ;-)

    However, lately I wasn't invited to one of my friend's wedding, my bridesmaid actually... That hurt, but of course... she wasn't in the obligation of inviting me, as they were only 20 people.
