Invites

So far I haven't had anyone ask about the wedding, but I have had people ask about bachelor/bachelorette parties. All I've told this were they're being planned by someone else so I know nothing. If anyone asks about your wedding, I would suggest letting them know that you're trying to keep it as small as possible and invites haven't gone out yet.

Just say something along the line of "Unfortunately, we are on a strict budget and are having a more intimate wedding. Because of that, we can't invite many people that we would have loved to."

I feel like it's awkward to ask.
But if I were asked, I might just say we are limiting it to mostly family.
We really are. It's just not our fault our super close family is pushing the 200 mark.

I'm pretty much caving in. Hard for me to say no 😭

View Quoted Comment I know it’s so awkward then i feel bad!

View Quoted Comment It’s very awkward and they aren’t really asking they are just assuming lol. The girls at work have mentioned booking a hotel room that night and i would love invite them but then i have to invite there husbands as well and it just adds up so quickly. I’ve also said in conversation to them that I’m having trouble already staying under 150 with just our family and very close friends.

So FH and I are in a similar situation. His sister is getting married in a week and I have been at her wedding related events with his entire family for the last month and now we have a rehearsal dinner and wedding where he has to see them, and none of them are invited to our wedding, save his sister and her FH, his parents and his godparents. They really shouldn't be shocked since we don't talk to them but that is beside the point. It's super rude also to assume you are invited to someone's wedding. Our approach is keeping the info to ourselves and when asked we say "we're just enjoying our engagement right now". When we send the STD's and invitations and they don't get one, they will know they were not invited. I don't know your situation, so I don't know if this would work for you as well.

View Quoted Comment I am in the same boat! Initially I had 45 ppl total. Now I'm up to 70. Luckily I bought 100 of everything lol
