I had this friend that I met in first grade and we were best friends for many years. We lost touch when we were about 15 and did not reconnect until very recently at 27 y. o. I have been hanging out with her and her two friends and we have become close again. She mentioned she wanted to celebrate my bachelorette activities with me. I explained that I was flattered, but I did not want her to put so much work into things for me because unfortunately my wedding guest list was pretty locked in and at the very top for a while before she even came back in to my life. I explained that I would feel terrible for having her do that without giving her and her friends and invite too. She responded that it didn't matter to her whether they were invited or not. They still wanted to do this for me, wedding invite or not. She was not offended at all. As I have been getting RSVPs back I have discovered that we now have room to invite them. I want to extend an invitation to all of them but I am worried that I will offend them for being an afterthought or not good enough to have made the first round. Like I said, the list was already pretty much final by the time she came back around and she was not offended about not receiving an invite even after celebrating at my party. Is it still okay to invite her and the others without seeming like an ass? Or is it better to just not say anything?
