I have been trying to find someone to do my hair for the wedding, and I just realized that a girl I went to high school with and was sort of friends with is a hair stylist (I know this because we are friends on FB, but we haven't spoken since high school).
My question is: if I have her do my hair, will I have to invite her to the wedding, too? I would obviously be paying her to do my hair, but I'm worried she'd be offended to only be the "hired help", and not actually be invited to the wedding.
I know I could afford to have her there, but I can't afford to invite her family also, and I know I would have to invite them. Plus she's cousins with someone who is also a friend, who I'm actually closer to, but is not yet on the guest list, so I'd have to invite her and her family, too, which would lead to having to invite her parents! (See, this is what happens when you go to school with the same people from kindergarten through high school!) I haven't really spoken to any of them in over five years.
So should I ask her to do my hair, or just find a hairstylist who would be invited anyway? If I have to invite the girls family, it might just be cheaper to go this route.
