Were planning our wedding for 2024 and guestlists are giving me some trouble. Were looking at between 80-90 guests and the split between myself and my fiance is that I have about double the amount of guests he has mostly due to a large family. Trouble is with my friend group from college. I graduated in 2019 and since then out of my then friend group of 12, two of them I've completely fallen out with, 1 I have no issues with just genuinely haven't seen since we graduated though we were somewhat close in college and of the other 9 I've seen sporadically over the last couple years. I'm not sure who to invite, most of the 9 I've kept in contact with have partners that I've known and met several times which would add another 5 or so to the Guestlist. I'd feel bad handpicking out of those 9 largely due to some strange dynamics within the group and the likelihood of things being taken poorly. I also feel bad inviting all but the 1 I haven't seen since graduating. I'd feel like I would be lumping her in with the two I've fallen out with but at the same time we just haven't kept in contact and I don't expect to see her until someone else in the group got married.
Sorry this is all a bit long-winded. It's so hard to navigate the politics of a group that haven't been particularly close or well defined but hasn't fallen apart either.
Would love to hear from someone who's had a similar experience and how they dealt with it!
