I can't invite everyone!!

What do you do if someone thinks they are invited to your wedding, but they really are not?  I would think just to tell them that we have to cover the cost ourselves and we are just inviting family and very close friends. 

My best friend (Erika) has a family member who thinks she is invited.  It is her sister, and to be honest, I like her a lot but I just never see her and we are obviously just friendly because of Erika.  And then if I invited her sister, her sister would need to bring her boyfriend, then the parents would have to be invited, and then she has another brother who would also need to be invited and bring his girlfriend.  (I am friendly with her siblings significant others)... but again, because I met them through her siblings.  Unfortunately we can't foot the bill for six extra guests.

I also don't know how to explain to Erika that her family isn't invited..
Her sister even posted on my facebook asking what the wedding date was so she could put it in her planner...talk about assuming you are invited!!

  • That sucks. :-/ I'd not go into logistics & cost, just say "I really wish we could invite everyone but we can't. Thank you for the well wishes."
