Can I leave one person from a group of friends off my guest list?

My guest list is quite limited by the capacity of my venue. In my group of friends I am not close with this person but feel that she would expect an invite. There are other people who we would rather invite so can I leave her off the guest list? Or is it too much of a risk of rupturing the group of friends? It’s a really tough decision that I’ve been mulling over.

Hey there!

Have you chatted to other people in the group about this? It's always going to be difficult choosing your guest list.

You have every right to leave her off the list if you aren't close with her. You deserve to have the people that really mean something to you at your wedding.

At the end of the day, you won't be able to invite every person that you want. Many people don't understand the costs involved in modern weddings & someone is going to be upset that they weren't invited.

My suggestion would be to chat to the others and see how badly they think it will affect your group. If the pain is not worth the gain, you might just need to invite her.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
