This weekend we head down to Puerto Rico for a reconnaissance mission for the wedding. Though I've mentioned it before, I realize that not everyone knows the details about the wedding and specifically the guys on my softball team. While I invited some of them, those who I thought might actually be able to go and with whom I hang out for the Bears games and such, I didn't invite everyone since I didn't want them to feel obligated to send a gift just because I invited them. A little history, a mess of guys on my team are either sporadically or currently unemployed and/or don't have much excess cash laying around. The last thing I want to do is contribute to that situation.
But now, when I see these guys, whom I haven't seen in a month or more, and we talk about the wedding, it's a bit awkward. I think we're going to set out an invite to them all, via email, and just discuss the situation with the invite. So many things to think about with the wedding!!

I don't think they'd be offended if they weren't invited. You have to draw the line somewhere with the invitations. My bowling partner of 2 years just got married and I wasn't invited and that was just fine with me! I only know him through bowling and don't know his family or other friends so I would have felt awkward going anyway.
I tried to comment on Weds but there were issues with Blogger. Basically - what Terri said. People understand, especially when we are older and wiser. If someone throws a tantrum chances are that was a no-win situation anyways since you probably don't want them at the wedding anyways and they aren't mature enough to realize weddings are expensive.
But - a note to explain stuff I think is appreciated.
