Hi everyone! My fiancé and I have run into a dilemma with our guests and guest count. For context, we are located in Dallas, Texas and will be getting married in the Midwest. Our problem is we have a ton of people here in Texas we would love to celebrate with but don't expect they will be able to/commit to travel all the way to the Midwest (Such as coworkers, neighbors, etc.). Should we:
A. Invite them anyway and anticipate a decline. However, if a lot say yes, we are at risk for going over our allotted guest count.
B. Throw a couple's shower/pre-wedding reception here. But we don't want people to think "Oh were good enough to buy a gift but not get an invite".
C. Other suggestions we are open to!
