last minute invites?

So my rsvp date is tomorrow and we got a lot more NO's than we were expecting- My question is: is it too late to invite a few more of my co-workers? There are 3 girls in the office that I wanted to include but had to make a cut somewhere. I would probably hand-deliver their invites tomorrow and explain the situation (we wanted to include them, but didn't think there would be room).... is that weird/rude? Or do you think thats ok? be honest - i can take it :-)

    Everyone is different in this situation and you know them best. I know for me, I wouldn't care less because we would be co-workers and I totally understand the situation. Others might not think like that saying well, if we weren't on the first list then eff it! If you think they would be cool with it then absolutely give them an invite. Just let them know that you felt so bad and wish you could invite everyone but had very limited space and now room opened up and you'd love for them to come if they could. Maybe someone can say it better than I could.

    i was pretty much going to say exactly what Val said.  if you know they won't be offended, then go for it.  if you think it will ruffle some feathers, try to find other fillers.

    Did my post even make sense? My grammar seems way off. I think I need more sleep.

    It depends upon the person. Me...I understand that I'm acquantances with people and that I may not make the cut.  But I'm still fun so if space opens up...I'm all for going to a party!

    I had a former co-worker invite me via facebook and did not even send me or hand me an actual invitation. She basically was like "people from our A list said no so now we have room from our B list now, do you want to come?" Obviously I said no. BUT, had I been given an actual invitation and had it been explained the way the posters above me suggested, I would not have been offended and most likely would have gone. I definitely think it's all in the presentation!

    I have time chime in with my unfortunate tackiness as well. We are short by 3 people. I am completely out of invites as we went over our original number ... I invited 2 coworkers in person and prephased it with "I KNOW this is extremely tacky, but heres the situation... etc etc" .. i WISH i had a formal invite to give them, but we don't and to get more printed would cost way too much for the sake of 2, so I chanced the tackiness. We still need 2 more people now though, and I am considering at least photocopying my original invite, cutting it out real nice on card stock and the next person I ask attempting to at least give that to them, as I really don't have time on my side with mailing it so this needs to be done in person asap.

    Explaining the situation is definitely different.
