ok…so my wedding is coming up, and we are going to be sending out invitations soon. My parents know a lot of people here, and we have been invited to their childrens weddings. But now, those “children” have children too, and not just 1, but like 3 or 4. Im talking about a lot of our guests. Is it ok to just invite the couple, and not the children. I really dont want to be paying for all those children. But I know desis, and they are going to complain!!! Its like, why dont you get a babysitter!! My brother and bhabi always get a babysitter when they are invited to a wedding just as a couple.
Also, a second question. We have these family friends (old family friends, but not too close anymore), and I used to be friends with their daughter “A”, until she had a falling out with my best friend “F”. now she doesnt talk to me or my best friend. When some of our family friends have been getting married, girls (that are getting married) that are close to “A” have not invited me or “F”. Do I have to invite “A”, even though we are going to be inviting her parents, and married siblings? Just some background…my parents and me (no one else in the family - even though their entire family was invited to my brothers wedding) were invited to the weddings of all the siblings, and even invited to her wedding.
Just put this on your invite "Number of Guests ____" and let them decide who comes from the family.
Either way there is no problem in just saying Mr & Mrs. and you don't have to invite people who don't talk to you, you can be the bigger person and just do it but it doesn't matter.
it's fine just to invite couples. putting mr & mrs on the invite is pefectly acceptable and they should hopefully get the message! i was going to say don't invite "A" until i got right to the end and i saw that u and ur mother had been invited to her sbilings and her wedding. in this case i think u should invite her to avoid looking petty especially since ur inviting her parents and siblings. she'll probably blend into the background amongst the other guests and u will be too busy enjoying urself and going through different emotions to notice her.
Hey,
About the just inviting the couple, from what I have seen, people do get really funny about it, and will talk crap. But i guess it is upto you, maybe just invite people who are closer to you with their famillies? Or as has been suggested write Mr & Mrs. most normally sane people wont mind.
I have no idea about your friend. If you want her there, and she is actually your friend invite her, if no don't.
