We live in CA and are getting married in New England. Our parents had a large number of invites, many of whom declined and we now know that we have enough in our budget for a few more invites.
Initially, to keep things simple, we didn't invite anyone from CA. We put a couple in our bridal party, but didn't invite any of our other friends as we thought it would be easier to explain to people the guest list/budget limitations and say that we didn't invite anyone from out here.
Now that we have the final count, my fiance mentioned inviting a couple of his friends. When I followed up with him today, he told me it was incredibly awkward for him to invite them so last minute and that it's a lot to ask them to come and buy flights, etc. Our wedding is the last weekend in July. I understand where he's coming from and I agree it's a lot to ask, but I'd still like to.
Is there any way that we can do this now or should I not bother? He told me I could call them if I wanted to.
