Not sending them an invitation means you are making the decision for them (this also applies for just sending an announcement). After all, they may think enough of you to WANT to spend the money to attend your wedding, or maybe they were going to vacation in the area anyway, etc, etc, etc. While this may make planning for the wedding more difficult (well, we send 200 invites, but only expect 150 to actually show, but who knows?), the use of RSVP cards will help you here. My ideas: (never actually tried) Invite: People you would like to have there. Close friends, relatives. RSVP cards so you can plan properly. Announcement: Send to people that YOU would like to announce your marriage to, but whom are not close enough friends that you would like them to share the experience with you. Dave Schnepper ios!daves
