Wedding Invited and “friends”

Planning you guest list really makes you look at some friendships. We cutbso many people we thought we would have off our day list and put on evening list due to this sort of behaviour. This means we are having a more intimate day and saving costs paying for peolel we don't really see much. Our day list is close family and friends and then we have all other friends in the evening. Regardless of if they are expecting an invite it is your choice and you don't have to explain your decisions, as lo g ad you are happy that is all that matters

If you haven't yet sent out Save the Dates or invites then I would reevaluate your friendships and cross some of these people off the list.

I found that a lot of 'friends' came crawling out of the woodwork when we announced our engagement, including one 'friend' who hadn't spoken to me in 15 years, but when she heard I was engaged, rang me up and started fishing for an invitation! Weddings are a good opportunity to think about your friendships and which of them are friendship in name only.

We are having our immediate families and our friends who we either see on a regular basis or due to distance have regular contact with. We both agreed that’s it our day and we will have who we want there not people who think they should be there.

When we sent ours out we only invited people who we had seen in the last year (excluding COVID lockdowns as that covered most of the year 😂) and also people who had actually text and asked how we were before we announced the engagement/wedding. I had recently given birth and half my friends didn’t even text saying congratulations so they didn’t make the list.
If you weren’t in my recent contacts on WhatsApp then you weren’t getting a day invite.
