A bit of a moan: At this rate, we are going to actually have NO guests! WWYD?

I dont see any problem with doing this.

Have all your other guests received their invites? That would encourage me to get them sent out all the more.

I would contact them as you suggested LM. I am sure they will know who you are well enough and will be more than happy to supply their address for a wedding invite!

I think I will do that, I just feel a little uneasy somehow, but perhaps if I word the email correctly it will surfice.

@ Sassi - my side went out mid-April and only waiting on around 10 RSVPs out of 75 of my lot.

Out of OHs I've sent all the ones I have the details for, but not the others.

Eek!

I don't see a problem contacting people this way as long as you know who ur H2B wants to invite. It would give them the extra time to RSVP, as your always going to have to chase up some guests after the deadline, giving them extra time hopefully means they will reply in time for ur RSVP date and you won't have to chase up to many guests.

I would contact them LM. I would be pleased that someone had gone to so much effort to ensure i was invited to there special day!

I think the fact you're asking us this means you're unsure about doing it for some reason - why is that?

If I were in your situation, I'd leave it to your fiance. Given that they are work colleagues, and presumably face similar time constraints to your fiance, they'll be used to getting last minute (or, in this case, two weeks of) formal notice. Also, if they are close enough to him to be all day invitations, they must have an inkling they'd be invited, even if your fiance hasn't yet made it explicitly clear.

To some people it matters that they be the ones to extend the invitation, rather than their partner. Is that the case for either of you?

All of that aside, if you don't see any harm in it, and you think your fiance wouldn't either, just crack on and do it.

I feel like it just makes it look a little like my OH hasn't bothered and isn't bothered about having them there, hence leaving it to me, which I should say, isn't the case.

That said - we did send STDs so they do all know we have the intention to invite them, and all guests with a partner/kids will have the invitation extended to include all appropriate family members. So perhaps I could wait. It's then just making sure that they RSVP in those 2 weeks so that I can confirm numbers etc intime as again, due to the nature of the work, and them being sent away a lot, there could be a good number of declines.

I think i'll go ahead and contact those who I have been introduced to (albeit wouldn't say I knew) and leave the rest to OH.
