inviting friends to wedding you haven't heard from in some time
Hello,
I have some friends I was closer with years ago, but now due our busy lives, we have much less contact......but I hear about them through other friends. I was invited to their weddings many years ago and would like to invite them now. Will they think it's strange?
Thank you

Yes, they may feel is it just an invite to gain gifts. Only invite those close to you. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

Hello,
Thank you for your help. Well, unfortunately I have already used bad etiquette without knowing it. We were married abroad and we invited everyone (friends and family) including these friends... who were disappointed they couldn't make it.
Now we are having a reception in the states and are inviting all the same guests who couldn't attend. If I invited them to a wedding abroad I should definitely invite them now that it will be close to home, correct? I hope it doesn't seem like we are insisting. We just want to celebrate with our family and friends and reciprocate those invitations extended to us in the past.
I didn't know time mattered when inviting people, I thought proper etiquette was if you were invited in the past you should reciprocate the invitation otherwise they might be offended they weren't invited....especially if they hear about the event through friends who are invited. Oh well, my error. I figure they can always decline to attend.
Thank you again for your time.

If you invited them to your wedding, then it is polite to invite them to your reception. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
