We are going to host a medium sized (50-60 ppl) wedding/reception that will entail cutting our guest list down to mostly family and an incredibly small amount of very close friends. Nothing has been finalized yet, but this is absolutely the direction we are heading in.
I was talking to a once close friend that isn't going to "make the cut" about things the other day and she asked if she could host a bridal shower or some sort of bridal gathering. This was after I had mentioned that we were only doing something for about 50 people (hint, hint).
I got the deer in the headlight stare and tried to change the subject. I am afraid I offended her. Fiance says to avoid the topic. I am wondering if I should be up front with her that I didn't mean to put her off but that I was afriad to agree to a bridal event in this area because I will mostly be limited to inviting family and they are all out of town. At this point, there is one female from my side that is local.
Any advice? She works where I work. I could put her in charge of organizing a work lunch. I don't think it's what she had in mind, but it's something.
