1) You should invite those who impact your life and with whom you would like to share this very special occasion.
2) Invite established couples. You aren't required to invite the best man's "flavor of the month"! But you should invite steady partners, fiancees, and spouses.
3) You don't need to tell everyone to bring a friend/date. Single people can be invited solo.
4) There is no need to invite co-workers with which you don't have a social relationship with.
5) Don't invite someone you haven't had a meaningful conversation with in 1 year.
6) You aren't obligated to invite someone who invited you to their wedding. Relationships can change with time.
7) Make a first choice and second choice list. Include the "must-invites" on the first choice list. As regrets come in, start sending invites to the second choice list.
8) As a courtesy, give each set of parents 5-7 invitations to give to people not included in your first choice list that they would like to invite.
9) On average, 25% of invited guests will not be able to attend.
In the end, what matters most, is having a beautiful wedding and being surrounded by those who love you.
With best wishes for love and happiness always!
