We don't want to make people we know
can't attend feel bad by sending them an invitation. Also,
it might just look like we're asking for a gift. Suggestions?
Consider this rule of thumb: If you want people to know that
they are included in your wedding plans, send them an invitation.
While it's thoughtful to think of your guests (and thrifty
to try and cut costs), the decision of whether or not to attend
should be left to them. Who knows: They may want to juggle
their commitments and make a cameo appearance—but they
can only do so if they get invited in the first place.
