Inviting clients?

Do you hang out with them outside of when you're cutting their hair? If not, I say no.

I think it really depends. In general I say no, but like co-workers there may be exceptions. My hairstylist point blank asked me to invite her to the wedding. She's seen our whole relationship evolve. And no we don't hang out, but neither do I with my cousin's boyfriend and he's invited.

I think if there are people you are close enough to that they know details about you and your fiance or that you've had a long relationship with. (My childhood hair stylist cut my and my mother's hair from when I was 11 to 22. If she'd gotten married during that time, my family would have gotten her a gift and we probably would have been invited to the wedding.) On the other hand, by picking and choosing you run the risk of hurt feelings.

Are these the people you are considering just inviting to dancing? (after ceremony and dinner)? Just skip them. If they stopped coming to your salon, found another stylist, or moved out of state would you still hang out with them?

You have another thread asking about "reception only" invites in which you won't be feeding these guests a meal. If that's what you mean here, then NO. Please read your other thread where you were advised that this is rude. No one should be invited to only part of your wedding.

If you are a member of your local business association and active in your community it might be a nice addition. When you are well know in your community some feel left out and hurt. If you are trying to keep a small simple wedding then I would just include in conversation that you are having a small wedding of close family and friends. People understand and will wait for photos.

I would only invite them if you are VERY close, and they must be invited to every part unless you're doing a very private ceremony.

I am generally not a fan of mixing biz and personal life; I wouldn't expect any of my pros to invite me to their weddings, and I can only think of a very few that I'd invite; people I literally talk to several times a week.
