Where do people stand on inviting old friends you haven't seen or spoken to for ages? I read somewhere that if you haven't been in touch with them in the last two years, you don't need to invite them, even if you went to their wedding.
There are several people whose weddings I went to two, three, six years ago, who I've only had the bare minimum of contact with since. Like, one text message, or the odd 'like' on something I posted on Facebook. To me, that really doesn't seem enough to count as 'being in touch' with someone, especially when they never reply to my messages to them or meet me halfway on any attempt to catch up. It's obvious that they don't have time for our friendship any more - which is fair enough, as people do drift apart - but what if they just assume they're invited because they asked me to theirs?? Awkward! We really want our day to be a special celebration with our nearest and dearest, so we definitely don't want any fairweather friends on the guest list who we'll never see again after the big day.
We haven't announced our engagement outside of our families yet, so these people don't even know a wedding is on the cards yet. When they find out they might not even give a stuff, which is fine by me! But I guess I just wondered if anyone else had/is having any experience of this...?
