Hi ladies,
I'm getting married in just over a month, and still in shock that we're going to have a relatively restriction-free wedding after this last year. While looking through things today, I came across one of our first guest lists. There are several people on there (all friends of ours) who were cut from the final list because we were afraid to invite more than half our venue capacity due to restrictions at the time.
These are old friends, not people we have become closer to over the course of our engagement. We have the budget to add them - should I reach out and extend an invite? I know people generally consider "B listing" to be rude unless you've gotten to know then during your engagement, but in this case these were people we wanted there all along but didn't think we would include.
How would you feel as a guest if you got a message a month before from an old friend with a wedding invitation? Does the fact that we planned during COVID impact how you feel?
