Should I invite her?

So I'm starting to send my STDs and a friend of mine called to tell me he had accidentally mentioned he was planning on going to my wedding in front of someone who may not be invited.  He was sorry and asked if she was.  I wasn't planning on inviting her (mostly because we havn't talked as much lately and she threw a bit of a fit over another friends wedding).  Should I just go ahead and invite her now?  I'm inviting many of our mutual friends if that makes a difference, obviously not all, but many.

Re: Should I invite her?

  • I don't think you have to.  It sucks that he had to feel uncomfortable, but maybe it'll teach him to watch what he blabs about.  It's really up to you if you think NOT inviting her will cause more problems than inviting her, whether or not you have the space/money, etc.

  • If you weren't planning on inviting her, you don't have to invite her just because someone else talked about your wedding.  I'm sure it won't be the only time your wedding is mentioned or talked about in the next year.  You don't have to invite everyone who knows you're getting married.

  • She probably would have found out about the wedding sooner or later.  There is no reason she should assume she is invited.  Which means really there is no reason you have to invite her. 
  • Nope, not unless you want to.  That's his faux pas.  Not yours.

  • Nope, it would be like inviting everyone anyone mentioned your wedding to.

  • Thanks, I was just worried particularly because she was in fact the last person I cut, if that makes sense.  We do have the space and money for it, so I may think if it would cause fewer problems to invite her, but its good to know I don't have to.

  • I wouldnt think of it this way, would you want to spend that money on someone you barely know?

  • No, I would not invite her.

    If she wasn't on the list the first go around, that means her presense is not important to you and therefore: Why pay for her to eat and party?
  • Nah, don't feel you have to invite her- don't worry about it.
