How do you explain why you didn’t invite someone to your wedding?

Cupid’s Advice:

Weddings are expensive, and there isn’t room for everyone.  However, people get offended if they don’t make the cut.  Here are ways to nicely and honestly tell someone why you chose not to include them on your big day:

1. Keep it clear: Set standards and agree on them.  For example, if you agree to include strictly family and close friends, don’t invite someone you haven’t seen for a really long time.  It shouldn’t be difficult to explain why you didn’t invite someone if they’ve been a distant presence in your life.

2. Dates and children: Not everyone needs a date, and not everyone’s kids should be there.  Keep it to nieces, nephews and godchildren, but no more than extended family.  This will cut the list drastically and avoid stress.  You also don’t want too many strangers around, so don’t allow everyone to bring dates.

3. Don’t bring work home: It’s your wedding, and you deserve a good time.  Don’t feel pressured to invite every single colleague, especially if you don’t have a personal relationship.  Stick to the select few to whom you feel close.
