Should I invite them to my wedding?

I grew up in California. I haven't met anyone from there or talked to them for almost 8-9 years. I would like to invite everyone I grew up with. I don't know if it would look weird though. Would it?

If you have maintained contact and consider yourselves still to be friends invite them. Otherwise it looks like you want a lot of presents. 8%26gt;}
Reply:Do you really want them there? Only you can decide that. Most people say that when compiling the guest list, even if you are related to them, that if you haven't spoken to them in over a year, they are to automatically get cut because they feel it comes across as gift-grabby otherwise.





Keep in mind that weddings are very expensive if you choose to have it in a large city and if you go for a full dinner with dancing, which many people consider to be standard. In some places, that can be up to $100 per person. Some people want everyone they have ever known to attend while others only want their nearest and dearest. So you have to decide who you really want to attend and who you don't mind cutting.
Reply:I might not invite everyone you grew up with.. but I would make an A list (being your family), a B list (being your "favorites" friends from California) and a C list (being people you were friends with but don't HAVE to have them at your wedding) and invite them, then see in your guest list if the place you are having your reception can hold more then your A and B list, and if your budget can afford the extra people. Don't forget though, your fiance has people to invite also.
Reply:Is it possible for you to meet up with them before the wedding? You could invite your old female friends to the Hens night to break the ice. It would be horrible if these people turned up and the wedding and ruined it by being drunk/loud/weirdos or something.
Reply:yes its wierd, if u havent talked to them for over 8 years its a) adding extra costs. b) people change over the years, if they werent close enough to u to stay in touch then they shouldnt be invited to the wedding.
Reply:I wouldn't invite someone I haven't seen or talked to for that long. If someone I hadn't heard from in that long invited me to a wedding, I would think they are just looking for gifts.
Reply:it really depends on you and your groom..how many people do you want to share your day with? are they significant enough in your lives to be a part of this big commiment?
Reply:If they are your personel friends then invite them.
Reply:If you want them there, invite them. It really doesn't matter how it looks to other people.
Reply:I would invite them.
Reply:If u want them... ask... at worse they will say theyre buzy. lol
