    The ones who we have a close relationship with. There are several who helped my dad raise me when I was younger who I'm not necessarily close to anymore, but they still mean a lot to me, so they will get invitations.

    We're keeping our wedding small so there are a few of our parents' friends on our B list, because we have good relationships with them ourselves, but no one that will immediately get an invite

    The only family friends we are inviting are ones my FH and I also feel close to and would consider them friends of ours as well.

    My parents don’t have a lot of friends. Okay i take that back. My dad has a lot of racing buddies but I digress. I’m inviting the ones that have been involved in my life. There’s really only a few couples that I think fall into that category.

    No not an option. We're not close to them so they don't get an invite.

    Absolutely not. I find that concept weird, unless you are very close to them.

    No. Our parents aren't invited..we aren't close to them so their friends don't make the list either. Even if parents were invited, we aren't close to their friends at all.

    I did invite my parents' neighbours but they couldn't come. My mother-in-law invited some friends to our ceremony only...
