Wedding B List

Don’t Be That Bride has some good advice for sending out wedding invitations, and B list invitations. Your ”B-list” holds all those guests who you would really love to have at your wedding… but for space or budget reasons, you just can’t invite. So when you receive a “will not attend” RSVP card from your A-list guest, don’t be sad! Now you can invite a B-lister!

 Don’t Be That Bride has some suggestions to keep your B-list invitees from feeling like the bouncer won’t let them into your wedding:

If you have a “B” list, make sure that you send out invitations (with the response cards) earlier than normal (Even 10 weeks ahead of time). Why? That way, if you get some “NOs”, you can then invite people on your “B” list, and they’ll be none the wiser.

Another idea is to order a few reply cards that DON’T have “Kindly respond by XXXX date”. If you have blank ones that simply say “We request the favour of your response” (or something like that), then it doesn’t look obvious if you send B list invitations out, since it’s not as if people will realize that your cut-off date was April 1, and you sent their invitation on March 25.
