Ok, I really have no idea how to respond to several rather awkward conversations that have come up with people who I am not inviting to the wedding. The most recent were the following two:
"Even though I didn't make the wedding invite list, I'd still like to hang out with you."
and
"I'm guessing I didn't get an invite because I'm an out of town person. We're still good, I'm not taking it personally."
I have told these people, politely I hope, that I would have loved to invite them, but due to large families on both sides, and budgetary restrictions, I was unable to invite them.
These are people that I think are very nice, but are not people I'm terribly close with, and honestly, not people I considered inviting in the first place.
Is there a better way for me to handle this? I don't wan to hurt anyone's feelings, but I really can't invite every person I've ever known to the wedding.
Help!
