Pre-wedding Parties

Awkward Bachelorette Party Invites?

I was not able to invite all of my girl friends to my wedding but I would love to have them come out for the night of my bachelorette party.  My wedding is not neccesarily small ( about 250 people) but I just have a huge family and we had to draw the line because of budget.  Is it inappropriate to invite someone to the bachelorette party who is not invited to the wedding itself??? I don't want them to feel left out or awkward since it is technically a pre-wedding celebration...

    Yep, that's rude.  It's like saying, "hey come celebrate a wedding that you're not invited to".

    I agree with PPs.  Not a good idea.  If you want to have a fun night out with all of your friends, have it, but don't make it wedding-related if people who aren't invited to the wedding are going to come to the night out.

    I agree with pp, if you don't want to make them feel bad, you shouldn't invite them to the bp. Now, IF they know they will not be invited to the wedding and are ok with being there just because they want to celebrate that with you, then I don't see a problem.

    Good luck!!!

    It is rude to include people in pre-wedding events when they are not invited to the wedding.

    I know that everyone says it's rude, but I really think that it depends on the person and the relationship that you have with them
    I was invited to the bach party, but not the wedding, of one of my college girlfriends and I was fine with it. We're friends, but not so close that I would get a wedding invite over someone that she's closer too and I totally understand that, especially now that I'm planning my own wedding.
    I plan on inviting her to my bach party because it's a night to have fun and hang out with your girls, even if you can't have them all with you on the big day. 
    Just keep in mind who your friends are and how you think they would react to this.
