I'm getting married in early November and we are planning to send our save the dates soon. What are everyone's thoughts on inviting friends from high school? I finished HS ten years ago. My group of friends had about 9-10 people when we graduated high school. Now - half of those are now people who I rarely/never talk to, wouldn't hang out with one-on-one, and/or haven't seen in at least a year (more in some cases). I live in our hometown (where the wedding is being held). One of these old friends lives here as well, but I haven't seen her in close to 3 years.

I went to a wedding in August 2017 for a college acquaintance. I only knew the bride - not the groom - and wouldn't have been offended at all if I hadn't been invited, because we hadn't really kept in touch much after college. But I ended up attending the bridal shower, bachelorette party, and the wedding (they were all local).

Looking for thoughts from other brides - did you invite all of a geographically-dispersed group of old friends, or just those who you consider yourself close to?

    I only invited the ones that I still talk to, my best friend since 4th grade is now married and we are both so busy that we don't have time to hang out as much as we'd like, that goes the same for 1 other girl that I invited from HS. We graduated HS 13 years ago but when we see each other its like we just had drinks last night. Invite only those you have personal relationships with now, there was even family of mine that didn't make that cut.
