To send an invite or not to send an invite???

I was planning on inviting a coworker/friend to my upcoming wedding, but she has already informed me that she is in the Bridal party of another wedding on the same day as mine (this wedding is 3 hours away). Should I still send her an invite?  I don't want to come off as just trying to get a gift by sending her an invite even though she definitely can't come.  However, I don't want to give off the impression that I no longer want her there or I'm upset with her for not being able to come. What do you think???

    I'd still invite her. Crazy things happen and you'd want her to know she could still attend is she was suddenly free that day.

    Send an invite. It's courteous. I know I always appreciate someone taking the time to think of me, even if they know I can't attend.


    This. Lets her know you are still thinking of her.

    Yes, still send it. It sounds like you've verbally invited her. Even if you know she can't go, it's proper etiquette to send the invite.

    Yes. Even if she can't actually attend, it lets her know that you are thinking of her in a positive way and that she would be a welcomed guest at your wedding.

    Two of my very close friends live on the east coast.  When they got married, their fiance's sent me invitations to the shower.  Obviously, I wouldn't be able to go, but it felt lovely to be thought of and invited.

    Yes, send the invite! Things happen, plans change, and it also lets your friend know you're still thinking of her.
