Save the Date but not an invite?

We sent out a Save the Date to a couple we were close to at the time.  Now, 5 months later, we barely communicate with these people.  There was not a major falling out, but we just kind of grew apart (and tired of their backing out of plans).  If we are not longer "friends", do we still need to invite them to the wedding?

Yup. Chances are they won't come anyway if you're not all that close any more. I get not sending an invite over some crazy horrible falling out, but if it's just general growing apart, just send the invite.

Yes you should still send out an invite.  Maybe they wont show since you aren't that close anymore, but since you sent out a save-the-date you should def send out an invitation.

You still have to send the invitation.

Personally, even if I hadn't had much time to see friends over a few months and we generally drifted apart, if I cared about the relationship, I'd make time to come to a wedding. If I DID want the relationship to die, I wouldn't. But if they didn't send me an invite, I'd feel snubed and assume the friendship was already dead.

So basically, if you have any intention of wanting to be on good terms with these people, I'd send an invite.
