  It's just two people and not worth fighting over.  Just invite them to the wedding.
  
  also, B lists are a bad idea for all the reasons em said.  I'd find a way to get rid of the B-list.

  I'll be the other voice here. I don't see the problem with a B list, as long as the people on there have no way of knowing others were invited earlier. I've been on the B list a few times & it didn't bother me. I went to the wedding & am still friends with those people.

  
  

  If you're not 100% sure they're being invited to the wedding, make sure they're not invited to the shower.

  I have a b list - but they are my siblings best friends who I would like to be there - grew up with them around but my siblings totally underhand if everyone invited comes we are at max capacity of our venue and also over budget so once I get a better idea of what family of fi is flying in or not I'll send out their invites. My brothers and sisters get it - and each of their best friends have kids so it would be a lot of people - anyways my ranger is saying I used to hate b lists but I think sometimes they are ok depending on the situation. As for 2 people your fi m wants you to invite I may just do it to keep the piece. I would not invite them to the showr unless they were 100% invited to the wedding though

  Here is another B List advocate:
  
  Our venue only holds 200 people and my fiance (and fam) keeps adding so we are at 204 people!  I have work people, school friends and others I would LOVE to invite but now that we are over capacity and over budget we just cannot!
  
  So basically if you CANNOT due to budget constraints and capacity then explain this nicely.  Once you give in for 2 people all B lists will slowly sneaking into the A list.

  Plus, after you make your guest list, you may find out that some may no longer be able to make it, or are invited. For instance, one of my cousin's left for the military, my great uncle passed away and another couple just found out their nephew is having his wedding the same day as mine. So, there's 4 less people right there. I was able to move 4 people from the B list over. They didn't get an STD, but oh well. They'll still get an invite at the same time as everyone else.
