Hi everyone!

There is a lady “Morgan” who I know though a church Bible study. Morgan and I see eachother around once a month for the study, but we have never hung out other than that.

My fiance and I are having 80-100 people at our wedding, but since we arent super close to anyone in the Bible study, we have decided to leave them off of the guest list.

A few times, Morgan has mentioned if I would like her to do my hair and makeup for the wedding (she isnt a professional, but she does it on the side). We talked about it a little bit, and I will be paying her to do them for me.

I am now at a loss as to whether I should invite her and her fiance to the wedding. I dont want to exclude them, but I also feel that it would be awkward if they were the ONLY guests from the Bible study there. What would you do?

    Have you decided on whether you want to hire her or not for you your hair and make-up artist? If so, many people include the mua on the guest list to be polite. Many, don't. I won't be. But I had a close friend that got married last year, and she did.

    I wouldn't because I don't have the availability, and she is being compensated for her work and time.

    I probably would invite her if you have the room. But I'm not very picky about who comes to my wedding lol. I don't think you should feel like you HAVE to invite her. If you enjoy her company and have extra seats, it would be a generous offer. Since you're not really friend friends, you don't need to.

    If you decide to hire her for hair and makeup, yes. Inviting her would be the right thing to do!

    She is doing your makeup, you're not obligated to invite her but it could be nice for some touch ups!

    I don't think it would be awkward to not invite anyone else from Bible study. Morgan would be invited because she'd be doing your hair and makeup, and it would be nice to invite her since she's doing that. It wouldn't be as if you invited her for no reason and left everyone else off the invitation list.

    I think it would definitely be a nice gesture to invite her and her fiance since she's doing you a service. It's a nice way to say thank you! Smiley heart
