Bumping people up to the day time doo!?!?!?

Hi,

Hmmm. Difficult situation. I think I'd be a bit offended to be obviously 'bumped up' but if it was done skillfully, seeing more of them etc and seemed natural as if suddenly you really wanted them there and did?n't know them enough before it might work!

As long as you are honest and say that due to numbers they couldnt be invited to the day, but as a few people cant come you would like them to, i think its fine.

We did this, we just said that we had calculated wrongly and that we'd really love it if they could come to the whole thing - they did, and i've never heard anything bad ?

I did this on Saturday (last minute drop outs) for my wedding on Sunday. I asked a friend whether she'd like to get ready a bit earlier and come along to the day and she was really pleased. Most people know you're limited on numbers and she said she was so please she was so high up the 'reserve list'. If someone asked you, you wouldn't think oh, they're bumping me up, you'd think ooh I get to go to the whole thing now!

WSS, I know people who have been bumped up to day dos and have been genuinely pleased.
