Your Wedding Wednesday Question
What’s the best way to tell someone that they aren’t invited to my wedding?
Answer:
This is always a tough conversation, especially if you are talking to a relative. More than likely, your guest list has to accommodate your budget or the size of your venue. If you explain this to your friends or family, they will understand and appreciate your honesty. Tell them you would like to meet up with them after your honeymoon to catch up and show them your trip pictures, so that you can share your happiness with them in a special way.
