If you were, for budget or space reasons, unable to invite all the guests you would have liked, then, as regrets are received, immediately send out other invitations. Send the first invitations early enough to allow you to receive responses and be able to get the other, invitation out about three weeks before the wedding. Who Gets Invitations Invitations should not only be sent to the guests on the list, but also to your fiance's immediate family, your wedding officiant, your wedding party, and their spouses or dates even though they have been invited informally. It makes a nice memento. Cutting Down the List Cutting down the guest list, although unpleasant and difficult, is a necessary reality. How do you do it, and where do you start? Everyone may have to cut some persons from their lists, or perhaps the person with the largest list will have to do the majority of the cutting. Start by eliminating certain categories of people, business or casual acquaintances, friends you haven't seen in ten years, friends who live long distances away, and children of friends. On invitations to friends with children, make no mention of the children and leave their names off the invitation if you do not wish them to attend. Have family members or close friends mention that you are not able to accommodate children. It is not necessary to invite dates for single guests. But if you do, send a separate invitation addressed to them, as long as you are sure who the guest will be.
