Do we need to invite our landlord?

My FI has lived in same building for seven years. I moved in with him last summer; our landlords are a nice older couple who live upstairs so we see quite a bit of them. FI has promised the woman who cleans for us an invite (she's been working for him seven years as well), which is fine. I don't want to slight anyone, which is why I'm asking about the landlords. We're having a small wedding of about 50, so I don't want anyone to feel out of place either. Thoughts? Thank you!

You do not *have* to invite them unless you've already told them you will. It sounds like you have not done that, so you don't have to.

We are inviting our landlord. We've lived in a house for about 10 years, so we have gotten to know the landlord well and consider him more an uncle than the man who takes our money. I think it would depend how you and your fiance view the relationship.

Inviting the cleaning lady sounds like something my FI would do as well.

As for your landlords, it depends on how close you are with them. If your relationship is just a business relationship (you pay them rent and say hi when you cross paths), I would leave them off of an intimate guest list. If you two have dinners together or have gone out together before, you might consider adding them, but still, it's not required.

Think about standing at the altar with your soon-to-be husband, reciting your vows. You look out at the guests - who would you be sad not to see there, during this meaningful moment?

Thank you everyone for your input! It has helped give me the perspective I needed to make a decision.
