My fiance and I are planning on having a relatively small wedding. There are several people (friends, but not very close ones; mostly sorority sisters and coworkers) who have talked to me about my wedding plans-and seem to assume they will be invited-that I do not plan on inviting to the wedding. How can I address this? If I was able to afford a larger wedding I would certainly invite these people, but I can't. I know that lots of the people that would be on the "I'd invite you if I could" list have mutual friends with us that will be invited to the wedding. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but can't justify going over my budget. We can't invite more than 150 people, and about 75 of those people will be family. Any thoughts?
