Advice for Guest List

in African American Weddings
Two of my colleagues told me today that they would like to have a small get together for me to celebrate my engagement/upcoming wedding. I've hung out with these ladies a couple times outside of work in the past, but would not consider them my close friends. My issue is that I had no intentions of inviting either lady to my wedding, but now I feel obligated. I was a bit caught off guard when they mentioned the party. Not sure how to handle this situation....

    What did you say when they approached you about a celebration? Are they trying to host a party for you? Or just go out together?

    I wouldn't necessarily feel obligated to invite them. If it comes up mentioned that you are keeping the guest list small.

    @senecaf They want to have a small get together at one of their homes. I told them it was a very sweet gesture and I appreciated it, but that they do not have to go out of their way to do that for me. And of course, they insisted.

    I would decline. Or invite them. Honestly there is no way to decline and not hurt their feelings but if you let them host it you 100% need to invite them. Problem is you shouldnt invite ppl to pre wedding celebrations that arent invited to the wedding itself. If this is going to be the case I would tell them "I'm so honored for you to think of me but since the wedding is small , I'm really wanting to keep the wedding and celebrations small. I'd love to go out for a drink or bite to eat to celebrate though"
