I know this is taboo....everything I have read says NO....but not quite with my circumstances
I am having a super small destination wedding. I do however have some family female members and a work colleague that I wish I could invite - there just isnt space on the guest list of 35 people. I would like to have a get together with them before the wedding.
The plan is a pamper party with some wine and snacks. I would pay for everything and gifts are specifically not required. If they feel like it they can make a small donation to a cancer association I support.
Can I do this? Or would I be crucified?
In the list of 15 people I want to invite to the pamper party, 5 will not be attending the wedding.
They are aware that they may not receive a wedding invitation and seem okay with it. But would I be crossing the line inviting them to the bridal shower and not the wedding?
Should I maybe call it something else?
