By close friends I would think only my bridesmaids! I'm inviting all female cousins and other girlfriends too. The more the merrier - this is supposed to be a party!
I'm being a little more free with who I invite because we're just going for dinner then out for drinks/bar hopping. I'll be inviting all of my BMs and some closer girls friends.
