My fiancee's guest list is very large, due mostly to business associates and friends in the community (he is very active with volunteer organizations, etc.) We are working on cutting the guest list to fit our budget.
Question: Would it be better to send announcements after the wedding to those we were unable to invite, or just not send an invitation OR announcement? My concern is offending those people who simply receive announcements and don't get invited to the wedding and reception.
Thank you.

Re: [november bride] announcements only for business associates?

Dear Bride,
I believe most of us understand that a couple can't invite everyone they would like to invite. So, I don't think these people would be upset if they simply received an announcement. Only invite the people close to you that you can afford to invite.
Plus, not everyone needs to receive an announcement. Associates and friends could be told about the wedding. You could only send announcements to those who need to know about your change of status. That is not to say that you can't send them just to spread the word. It is just optional.
announcements only for business associates?
