Inviting b-listers

Yes, it would look like an obvious last minute invite. Invites typically go out 6-8 weeks before the wedding with RSVP about 3-4 weeks. Inviting people less than 4 weeks out is pretty last minute.

It would definitely look like a last minute invite in my opinion. I also don't think two weeks is enough time to give people to RSVP, especially in the midst of the holiday season. I would skip sending B-list invitations altogether.

If your co-workers are already aware of the fact that it's a b-list last-minute invite then I don't see why it'd be a problem. It's not like you're trying to play it off as something it isn't. As long as you're honest and don't think they'd be hurt.

Yes it obvious but I would probably do it if its just coworkers. You can ask them in person and hand deliver the invite. I don't know how friendly you are with you co workers but if they keep asking for an invite and you want to extend one I don't see why they would be offended.

Definitely too late. I think doing a B list is only acceptable if you invite the B list no less than 6 weeks before the wedding date, so it doesn’t look like they were a last minute add-on. With less than a month to go, they’ll know they were added last minute.

^just read further and adding to my comment... they definitely will know it’s a last minute add on, but with coworkers they may not be offended to know they were B listed if you’re upfront about it and are like “hey we didn’t have room before but now that we do, we’d love for you to come.” Since they’re just coworkers I’m assuming they know they’re not your nearest and dearest and wouldn’t be offended to know they weren’t on the initial list?


So to answer your question, yes they would definitely know it was a last minute invite. But only you know them and your relationship with them, and you can decide whether or not they would mind knowing they were added last minute 🤷🏻‍♀️

I honestly think it's fine to invite your coworkers at this point. Just pick people who wouldn't be offended to receive a late invite.

25 days out is kind of late

Everyone on my B-list knew that we had limited seating at the venue and had to make sure all family were invited first. They understood we had to wait for the rsvps from them to come back before we could invite any one else and they aren't upset about it. I am actually giving them the invites today and I am not concerned about them RSVP as I know they are coming. I am however 2 months out still and our invites were sent out earlier then normal because most of our families are out of state and we wanted to give those that do come enough time to make travel plans

It's a know your group kind of thing. I assume you see your coworkers basically everyday, so 2 weeks seems like enough time to me for them to decide. It will be obvious that it was a last minute invite, but if you're cool with that then do it

I think it's too late in the game to invite anyone else. It'll likely look like they were only invited because someone else declined. It might offend them
