Neighbors

futuresiddell, on February 4, 2014 at 4:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

So we just recently bought a house back in June and are kind of getting to know the neighbors. I would feel completely rude if I didn't invite them to the wedding but yet we don't know them all that well..the wedding is about 8months away so I'd assume we will get to know them better in that time. I know its ultimately up to us, I would just like to hear some feedback (:

    Wait until it's closer to the time you're going to send out invites. you really won't know until then and i wouldn't assume friendships.

    my nosy neighbor figured out that we were married because H started spending the night ha!

    Would they invite you to theirs, or their children's if they happen to be older? We just recently bought a house last year and don't have that kind of relationship at all. Will your guest list allow it?

    I would reassess when your invitations go out. Maybe there will be a couple you want to invite.

    I don't think you should feel bad for not inviting them. Wait until closer to the wedding to decide if you'd like to include them.

    I mean how close are you?...hangout/going to dinner/barbecues. Personally I have no guilt in not inviting people I consider associates or don't really know all that well. Do you really think they would be offended?

    I'd put them on a "B" list of sorts.... you won't be sending out invites until 6-8 weeks before the wedding, so you don't have to make a final decision on your new neighbors until much closer to that time.

    Are you sending our STD's? If so, just don't send them one, and see where your friendship with them goes in the next 6 months.

    Personally, myself or my family have always been considerate and friendly with our neighbors, but never have we become such good friends they would be invited to a family event of this caliber.

    I have lived in my house about 14 years 15 by time of wedding, I know many of them very well, and they are on the guest list. Not the screaming white trash ones next door, but the rest of them are. I think most of them would come.

    If you're having the wedding at your house, invite them so they don't complain about noise!
