invite

So last October I was invited to and went to a college friend's wedding.  I was very surprised but happy to be invited even though we hadn't talked or seen each other in a few years (just lost touch).  She invited me soon after we befriended and messaged one another on facebook.  So I was hoping to stay in better touch with her, but again we are not so good at keeping in touch and haven't talked since the wedding.  Although I like her a lot, I feel bad about a huge invite list since my mom is paying for the wedding.  Is it rude for me not to invite her and her new husband to our November wedding since I was just at her's last year?

Re: invite

  • Nope, not rude at all.  There are no strings attached to invites; she invited the # of guests she could accommodate and so will you.

  • No, you are fine.  If it was within a few months I would probably invite them, but people's lives completely change in a year.  When my college roommate got married 6 years ago, I was a BM in her wedding.  We have only talked a handful of times since then, and we live about 2 hours apart.  I didn't even invite her to mine, let alone have her in it.

  • Unless you said something at her wedding like "I can't wait to see you again at mine" (if you were already engaged) you don't have to invite her.
