Invitation Question

My invitations when out the other day, many people received them yesterday.  I get a text from my friend Amber late last night about receiving them and asking if her parents were invited.  They are not!  But now I feel bad for not invitating them.  I was really close with her family about 13 years ago when I was in high school, but since moving out of my home town, I may have only seen them a half a dozen times since.  What do I say without hurting their feelings.

    I would just say that I'm sorry, but weren't able to invite them.  The guest list quickly got out of control with both families and it was hard to choose who to include.   We tried to keep it more intimate and include those closest to us.  I wish we were able to invite more people.Okay, that's pretty wordy, but you get the idea.

    Maybe also throw in something about being limited by space?  Sometimes it helps if people think it's not in your control. (ie: then venue would only let us have XX people...)

    Yeah, I would go with...we wish we could invite everyone, but we had limited space, etc.I wish I could have invited some of my friends parents too.  Sucky, but you have to draw the line somewhere!
