So i have about 6 months til my wedding and havent finalized my guest list. However, I have an A list with about 130 people, a B list with about 30 more, and then a C list with 20 more. Our place can hold up to 200 people, but our budget doesnt stretch that far.
A friend of mine, who at this point is on my "B" list, has asked before when my date was. Its gotten a little awkward because she assumes she is invited, but as I said at this point I dont know if she is. I'd like to, but might not be able to.
It has gotten very awkward now because of facebook. She posted on another friends wall this morning about how she wanted to go to an event in the other girls hometown, but that shes pretty sure that it is the weekend of my wedding. A few minutes later she posted this on my wall:
"Lady, I need to know if you've officially set your date for 9/17 or 9/10 because Baconfest is now on the line

Your wedding /> Baconfest, thats how you know how much I care.
"How do I properly respond to this? I plan on sending her a private message as opposed to posting on the wall for all to see like she did. I hate the assumption that shes invited,and thats shes posting about it so publicly but i dont know how to respond. I obviously cant have her just keep going around thinking she is definitely coming when there is a chance she might not, but dont want to tell her she isnt when i might be able to invite her.
so what do i saw back? guest list isnt finalized? since my parents are paying for it its going to be mostly family? bascially whats the polite way to tell her i dont know if she is invited or not yet
