Out of State Guests

Molly, on February 23, 2020 at 1:08 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

I am torn between inviting an out of state guest or not. I have known her family for many years, but I am much closer to her younger sisters than I am with her. The rest of her family lives only a few hours from me, so they will be invited to the wedding (one sister is a bridesmaid). I feel that I should invite her because I am inviting the rest of her family, but I have a strong feeling she will not make the trip due to work and budget restraints (which I am completely understand). I was invited to her wedding reception last year, but her reception was held in her home town a few hours from me so I didn't have any of the travel expenses she would have to attend my wedding. I don't want her to feel left out or forgotten if I don't invite her, but I also don't want her to feel obligated send a gift if she is invited and choses not to make the trip. We would love to have her join us, but I really don't think she will make the trip. Should I send her an invite or not?

    Invite her. If she wants to make the trip, she can. If not, she'll decline. Leave the decision up to her.

    I would invite her. She might not be able to attend but at least you gave her the opportunity.

    Invite her. Don’t think about all the rest of that stuff. An invite is not a call to attend, nor an obligation to gift. Both of those things are decisions she can make on her own

    Invite her. If she doesn't want to come or can't make it, she'll just RSVP no. If she wants to send a gift, she will. But she may choose not to and that's perfectly fine. But, you should let this be her decision.
