I'll start by saying that we do not have a B-list. We are fortunate that our venue is huge and we didn't have a limit on guests, so we just cut the list as we felt was appropriate based on relationships and sent out all invites at once.
BUT. In the last yearish I've become friends with 2 girls at my gym. We started taking the same classes and casually chatting last summer, but were in a challenge together this winter and have been working out alone together since March. I thought about adding them to the list when we finalized it in early March, but was worried they'd think it was weird since we hadn't hung out outside the gym and they were already close as a pair. We've become true friends in the few months since then, texting a lot and getting meals after workouts, and that makes me really happy because I want more local girlfriends! They are super excited for me to get married, and are always asking me how the planning is going.
