Is there a nice way to invite B-list attendees or at this point should I not bother?

Don't do it. It's so rude.

Yeah. Don't do that.

It's a little early to be inviting anyone. But like others said don't do that

There should be NO B List. You either want people at your wedding or you don't.

B-listing is never okay.

But how do you have a final count when your wedding is over a year away?!

I'm so confused, is there a typo in your wedding date? There's no way you should have a final count.

B-listing is so fucking rude and great way to lose my friendship.

My wedding is at the end of July.

I have extra invitations - what if I sent those out and set an RSVP date for 7/7/17? That's still 3 weeks before the wedding.

Did you read any of the comments? B-listing is super rude regardless of when the RSVP date is. Skip this idea.

@FutureMrs.G Sorry about that - I didn't realize it still said that. ?? I just fixed it on my end.

@RealLindseyO I did read the comments and thought that people were mostly acknowledging me calling to invite them. I thought maybe if it was an actual invite it would be better?

Their wedding is next month lol. But please don't do this. I would be pissed getting asked so close to the date to a wedding all the way across the country.

@BlueHenBride her wedding is this July

Don't B-list! Its definitely awkward -- your FH's friends will know that they weren't on the initial guest list because its so last minute.

Ok, with your updated wedding date, that makes a little more sense.

B-listing is still not okay. I feel like I'm your case where you would be asking people to travel from CA to New England on a month's notice, it's just unreasonable. There's a reason people give 6-8 months notice for OOT guests and destination weddings. They need adequate notice to plan for the travel. On top of the obvious B-listing, it would be extra rude to ask these friends to book last minute trips (which tend to be more expensive) when they've had no time to save or scout deals.

Annakay - it was originally listed as Sept 2018.

Don't do it. I know it's tempting.

There's not a nice way to do this because it's rude. Not sure what's so difficult about this concept

That would be a really socially awkward thing to do. I don't think your B-list guests would be too happy with that.

People are saying it's never ok to B list period.

By paper or by word of mouth, these people will feel like second thoughts. Don't make them feel like they can only come because someone else said no. It's more polite to just forget it.
