Are you inviting friends you haven't seen recently?

Lynnie, on September 3, 2019 at 11:05 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 95

What about your friends from college? Or friends you haven't seen in a few years? Is your wedding turning into a reunion or did you stick with the most important friends in your life right now?

Are you inviting friends you haven't seen in awhile?

    One or two, but not a ton.

    Current relationships only, it’s not possible to invite everyone that you’ve ever met in your whole life.

    We have very few friends on our guest list, mostly family and a few co-workers.

    Nope. We are only inviting the ones that we have kept over the years and are actually close to, talk on a regular basis.

    There will be a few college friends I haven’t seen as recently as I’d like, but it will mostly be recent friends and people I have regular contact with.

    Only a couple. Nobody who we've fallen out with or fallen out of touch with

    My thing is, if i haven't spoken to or seen you within the last 5 years, then I'm not inviting them to the wedding. Maybe the bridal shower

    A couple yes. I've gotten close to them again thanks to Facebook and since I don't have much living family it means a lot to me to them there.

    If I haven't seen them or at least spoke to them within 3 months, there is no reason for them to be there.

    Yes and no. I’ve considered a few friends my best friends back in the days but as of now we aren’t close any more but I know once we start talking again we’ll be just as close as we were. But there are that I wouldn’t want to be there.

    Trying to stick with just current. This is very hard for fiance. He has a lot of friends from all different points in his life. He has a few people that live out of state and he like never sees or talks to that he feels like "have to be invited" 2 of them he was going to ask to be best men! Its just hard for me because I don't even know them and feel like they aren't that good of friends. One of the guys is a computer guy and when we were searching for a laptop fiance wouldn't even facebook or text the guy to ask him advice because "I haven't talk to him in so long I feel like that would be weird". But he is invited to our wedding and is almost a best man!?

    Technically I haven’t seen either of my bridesmaids in a year, almost 3 by the time the wedding rolls around. Almost all of our guests are my friends and family from the east coast, so I haven’t seen most of them in years.

    We are having a smaller wedding, so only those who are near and dear to us! There are a few friends we haven't seen in awhile.. but life happens and distance has separated us, but we couldn't imagine saying "i do" without them!

    Yes. Most of my friends leave out of town, and have moved away from our hometown. We rarely see each other but they are still important to me.

    No we aren’t - unless we keep in contact with them frequently or they have had an impact in our lives then
