I have been mulling this idea around in my head for a while since me and my boyfriend have talked about getting married.
Should I invite old friends of mine?
Why am I having such a hard time with inviting them? Well, a bit of backstory may be needed. Back in '07 is when I first started dating Chris-Jon via online in Florida. None of my friends where very 'thrilled' of the thought of a long distance relationship for me and pushed me to find someone local. But with Chris-Jon being a honestly sweet, nice, man with a bold, charming and refreshing personality, it was hard even thinking of giving that up. Fast-foward to '09. Desicion time! If the relationship was to move any forward one of us was going to have to move. With me not rooted anywhere too heavily I chose to move to Texas to be closer to him. This was not pleasing to the same set of friends who said I was making a bad descicion to move for "love", things would crash and not work out.
Now after two years of living here in Texas I find myself starting to hear the chime of lovely wedding bells off in the distance. I think my friends back in Florida may have finally realized how much of great guy I have been dating for the past 4 years. Or just at least caring that I am happy.
But, Honestly I feel like I should not even bother sending them an invitation or even a save the date card. For the reasons; 1. I doubt they would actually put in any effort into coming here to be at the wedding and 2. I want my wedding to be small and personal.
So! My question again and rephrasing it this time in conclusion. Should I send invitations and save the date cards to them out of respect of our semi-close friendship? Or just send them a text/email saying "Hey, I'm getting married!"
