Don’t Be That Bride: HELLO THIRTY! THE WEDDING FAIRY’S “NEW WAVE” OF WEDDINGS (PART I)

At my 30th birthday party, I was speaking with one of those friends who is getting married. We were talking about Save the Dates - and she said to me something along these lines (after I complimented her on her “STD”): “Thanks! We were excited to send them out, but we of course only sent them to those we definitely knew we could invite. We’re afraid people will talk and complain if they find out they didn’t happen to get a save the date - and someone they knew did - but we don’t want to run into an even more awkward situation later by biting off more than we could chew.”

Yes, much better to let a guest think that their STD got lost in the mail (or let them know they were a late-add guest!) then have someone save the date for nothing!
