Our wedding is 12/8, we just received many NO RSVP's. What is the ettiquette to invite B-listers this late?

Since many of the B-listers are friends, but friends that we kind of lost touch with, what is the best way to send them an invite?

I would send out the invites, but you probably wont' be as much RSVP's as you would like sinces its such short notice. I would just send them out and hope for the best. Remember even the first set you sent out, a lot of people are going to come who didn't RSVP so be prepared for that.
Reply:Send them out today its still 4 weeks beforehand. I did that and noone knew which list they were on.
Reply:Usually you send out wedding invitations 6 weeks before the event but if you could get the invites out today, I think that it will be ok. If it were me, I'd give them a call and tell them that the invite is coming and apologize about being so slow to get it to them. This serves the purpose of making the late invite seem like your mistake and not look like they were on the B list originally and it also gets you back in touch with old friends.
Reply:Too late, I'm afraid, unless you are absolutely CERTAIN your "B" list people have no chance of knowing anyone on the "A" list.





If you got your invites in the mail to be postmarked by TODAY then you should be okay, techincally.





Personally, I think if they weren't good enough to make your A list then it seems like you are inviting them just to fill space.
Reply:It's not too late you can still invite them but take into account some people might still have a last minute cancellationand re-RSVP if you will.
Reply:Just be sure they have enough time to respond by the rsvp date. Then is should be ok.
Reply:it's not late is it? i thought you're supposed to send out invitations one month before. so you're right on time! send away!!
Reply:well if they are 'friends' you have kind of lost touch with ; ask yourself how important they really are to you %26amp; do you actually want them there anyhow.


just go with the numbers you do have
Reply:You're still within an acceptable time frame to send out invitations. Send them out now. I think RSVP's, while useful in theory, aren't as useful as they used to be when people observed stricter etiquette.
