Sending out late wedding invites

[Sukhoi]

The place our reception is at has a flat fee for up to 150 people, and we're surprisingly running a bit under that now that the RSVPs have come in. What's the opinion on sending invites to people that we were originally on the fence about but didn't invite because we thought we had too many people? Wedding is in two weeks.

Do it. more gifts = well, more gifts.

Was just the best man at a wedding at Disney World last weekend, they did exactly that. I've also been to multiple weddings in the past year where they've sent out more invitations closer to the wedding. No one will question it, they'll just accept the invitation and show up if they give a damn. Don't give it a second thought.

I would send the invites, folks will understand

Only a n00b would fail to realize why they're receiving a wedding invitation two weeks before the wedding.

Send them late and blame it on a postal issue due to floods or some other natural disaster. Fuck it.

No kidding.
"You didn't make the cut for the first round, but since no one we like will come, we're inviting you."

Worth a try...but only the stupid ones will believe that.

It's likely the stupid ones who never got an invite in the first place.

We received an invitation to a wedding of friends of ours that we pretty much never see. It came 2 weeks before the wedding date, and after the RSVP date (they sent out spare invitations without amending anything, durr). MEh. Too short notice anyway so we didn't go.

Send them out priority. Tell them you lost a page of folks on the original invite list. Get more booty (from future wife and from gifts).

The main reason not to do this is:

You didn't make the cut for the first round, but since no one we like will come, we're inviting you

because

more gifts = well, more gifts.

Personally, I wouldn't be offended but I would consider it a bit tacky. Whether I came or not would depend on whether I was free and how much I like you.

Will you be able to accommodate more people food-wise without giving your caterer notice? You don't really have time for proper RSVPs so you can't be pissed if people show up without having given you a good long lead notice.

do it but don't expect to get a gift of the same caliber as first round invitees.

this. if you pulled that stunt with me, i'd show up just to eat and scope out the honeys. i'd bring a $20 gift card to walmart as a 'gift'. or maybe two $10 gift cards, one for each of you

You can invite us (ATOT). Possibly won't be as awkward during conversations.
(Just don't invite Trident or Gayner. j/k)
