Our wedding was originally due to take place in Dec ’20 but was postponed to Dec ’21 due to COVID. There are a few people on our original guest list who we are no longer close to and wouldn’t want to invite, but the kicker is, these people originally knew they would be invited to the wedding (I had mentioned it in passing or confirmed their postal details with them for invitations).
For example, my friend’s parents were originally invited as they often invited us to family events of theirs which we partook in, but we haven’t even seen or spoken to them since we postponed the wedding a year ago. There is also my high school best friend who I fell out of touch with and am now only vaguely acquainted with, who I was closer to a year ago, but now have only spoken to in brief on one or two occasions.
For those of you who postponed and are in a similar position (and others of course) – will it be rude if we do not invite these people or can we get away with it since we don’t really keep in contact with them? I’m particularly unsure about my friend’s parents as they live together still so I feel like they may particularly feel snubbed when their daughter gets her invite and they aren’t noted.
