Invite The Inviteables!

Ordinarily when you send wedding invitations, you send them to those you’ve deemed ‘inviteable’.  Did she say ‘invitable’? Yes, I sure did.   Is that even a word?  Technically no; but neither is bootylicious^®; but it’s in Webster’s Dictionary so just go with me. 

So what’s an ‘inviteable’?  An ‘inviteable’ is someone that you’ve deemed worthy to be invited to your wedding. These people are usually those whom you already have some type of relationship with and preferably those who already celebrate who you are and would be more than happy to attend. 

But what usually happens is that instead of inviting the inviteables, some brides tend to go for the numbers; as if when they get to a certain number of guests, they’ll win the ‘Wedding of the Year’ Award for the bride that invited the most guests. But honey, there is no such award and if you’d keep that in mind, you’d save yourself a lot of money; in addition a lot of heart ache and disappointment when the RSVP Rejections start to pour in.

Because after you’ve gone to the expense of purchasing your traditional wedding invites, the last thing you want to hear is that some of those invited are too busy to attend.  Many schedules will be booked and itineraries set in stone.  I mean some people couldn’t possibly make room in their hectic schedule for your wedding; I mean there’s no money in that!  To them, this is just another occasion to rent a tux and get dressed up.  But to you, this will be the day that you marry the person you were created for. 

Keep that in mind when you’re making your list.  Invite the invitables!  Invite the people who value who you are and what you’re already doing.  Those people who respond quickly to your texts and emails. Those who like your Facebook statuses and retweet your many uneventful tweets!  Those who may not stop by everyday but always check to make sure all is well.  Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life; invite only those who will value being able to share that experience with you.
