It's a very good example of the TK being a business that doesn't give a crap about etiquette. Having a B-list is rude. Just ignore that column.

<div>Pretty much. Don't do a B-list, it's insanely rude. </div>

According to the Emily post website, if you HAVE to do them, send out the B invites immediately after receiving regrets from the A group. So if it MUST be done, do it cautiously.

See I am doing a b list but really my a list is just for the people who live really far away so sinceI live in NJ my family who lives in TX is getting invited first and then when I recieve all their answers back we will send out the rest of our invites.

Again, terrible advice. Stop posting on the etiquette board since, ya know, you don't know proper etiquette.

OP - watch using some of the tools on TK. Many girls have lost their GL and RSVPs by trying to use TK's tools for their wedding. I recommend using the budgeter and the checklist. But that's about it. You may want to just use an excel spreadsheet to organize your guests.

I used the A's as my family's guests and the B's as my FI's guests. That way we knew who to ask for addresses/phone numbers we were missing so it was easy to sort. I didn't realize it was for grouping invites... Whoops!

what you are doing is horribly rude. Invite everyone you can afford to properly host in the first round. Don't send out a second round. You are basically asking your second round guests to be seat fillers for the really important people who couldn't make it.

It's rude. it's against every form of proper etiquette and it shouldn't be done.

I use the B for people who I don't expect to come. They are still invited and more than welcome but I will only tentatively plan on their attendance. My FI's grandparents are really old and probably won't want to travel all that way. I hope they come, but it helps with my OCD wedding planning.

Thank you to EVERYONE for the advice! I appreciate it!
