[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It didn't bother me when a grad school friend did this. She was new to the area. Her family lived abroad. The groom was local and his family of origin was large. Their compromise was 30 guests total. The only way she could have any guest was to invite her classmates and if she had invited our spouses, she would have had to cherry-pick among us. It was actually great bonding for our cohort.[/quote]

You know, I once got excluded from a wedding for somewhat similar reasons. This was someone I used to be very close with. He apologized and apologized for leaving me out, and while we are still friends, it still smarts and I don't think we will ever be as close again.

On the other hand, I was the asshole who didn't invite several people to my wedding - mostly because I didn't want them to feel obligated to be there, but now I realize what a shit move it was for me to leave them out. I don't know if they all feel hurt still, these years later. But I still feel badly about it.

TL;DR - sometimes people make mistakes when it comes to invitations, and sometimes those mistakes have consequences.[/quote]
