Inviting Someone Late

Hi! Over the weekend, a social shower was hosted for my fiancé and me. There was one person in particular who helped the host plan and set up for the shower. I’ll call her “Sally.” I haven’t known “Sally” for very long and became closer to her over the past year. After all of her help, I decided that I would like to invite “Sally” and her husband to the wedding. We have 4 weeks to go until the wedding. I was planning to give her the invitation in person, thank her for helping with the shower, tell her that we want to invite her and her husband to the wedding, and say that we hope they can make it. I know B-lists are considered tacky, but I feel like this is kind of a special situation. What do you think?

Do it! Four weeks is plenty of time, and I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

Go ahead and invite her if you can squeeze the two of them in

I would just invite her! Maybe just send her a message or go to her in person and say like "we'd love for you to come." I know it's technically in poor etiquette but we did this with a couple people who we had been out of touch with for a while but reconnected within the month or two before the wedding. Both were super happy to be invited! One is coming and one isn't (but she was still really happy to have been asked lol). Only you know your relationship with this person though... if you think they'd react poorly to being a last-minute add-on then don't do it. But most people (especially if you aren't super close with them, or haven't been for a while) would just be happy to be included. Go with your gut!

I would just invite her ASAP! If she doesn't want to go, no pressure obviously but at least the invitation is sent.

Invite her say that you would love for her to come! I did the same to one of my friends and he was happy to accept. I think late invites are fine if you word it well to them. I personally had late invites and it was moreso because I was so restricted on capacity that I really could not invite everyone I wanted but I ended up having room and was just like I did not have any room at all before but I would love to have you there if you can come.
