Are you inviting everyone whose wedding you've attended?

What's your stance on reciprocal wedding invites? Did you automatically add them to your guest list if you were invited to their wedding? Or did it depend on how long ago their wedding was? Next Question: Are you inviting friends you haven't seen recently? Back to the Beginning: Who made the cut? ...

    I actually had to cut a few people who not inly invited us to the wedding but asked me to officiate. We really wanted a small wedding and had to leave quite a few close friends off the invite list.

    We did. But all the weddings were within the last year so we thought it was appropriate.

    That didn’t really apply to us. I’ve only been to one wedding in the last few years and it was my cousin who did come to our wedding but neither my husband nor I have been to many weddings.

    No. Only A couple of those people did not make the cut.

    I’ve been to both of MoH #1’s Weddings and one of my Hostesses.

    Invitations are not “tit for tat”.

    It should be who you want there to share that moment with.

    No. This was a tough one for us because my fiance has lots of friends and gets invited to a lot to weddings but we just couldn't swing it.

    I've been to a lot of weddings in my life (I have 2 older brothers who are 9/7 years older than me). We invited several people we've been to their wedding if I was close to them but not if they only had a relationship with my brothers.

    Yes! I’ve invited most of them. But unfortunately not all of them.

    Of course not, because some of those weddings were 5+ years ago.

    Nope. Several of the people whose weddings I have attended I have completely lost touch with. I wouldnt even know how to get in contact with them.

    Haven't really been to any weddings recently, so this really doesn't apply. However, I wasn't invited to one of my uncle's wedding in 2016, but he's on my list, so.. yeah!

    Most of them, unfortunately I've lost contact with some of the people whose wedding I've attended.

    I'm kinda on the fence about this, there is a handful of people from work that got married recently but I wasn't invited to theirs so I don't plan on inviting them to mine. I have a friend who is getting married soon and I'm attending her wedding so I think I'm inviting her to mine, even though the majority of my guests will be family.

    We didn’t. We have a very small wedding though so only very special people are invited ( if I’ve come to their wedding or not)

    Nope! Several of the people whose weddings I attended I am no longer close to so it didn't make sense. We did invite a few, but not all of them.
