Afterparty guests

Ok so i've already posted on having an open/cash bar at the after party.

Also-b/c of our budget; we're trying to keep a tight guest list. And are limiting our list to 125; which means leaving out some friends that we see on occasion; but just can't fit into our budget.

is it tacky to invite them to the after party then? If we're not inviting them to the actual wedding; do we hide the fact that we're having an after party; or can we just say the more the merrier for this and include those that couldn't make it.

I'm sure some of our older family members (including parents) might not make it to the after party; so there will be room.

Just trying to get some opinions on this. Would you be offended if you were invited to come out to a lounge afterwards; but not to the actual wedding?

I personally think that if you are going to do it than stick with just the guests you had at the wedding. I think people who weren't invited might be a little hurt. JMO.

Re: Afterparty guests

I wouldn't invite them to the after party and honestly if you invited me to an after party but not the wedding I would be more insulted than not invited to anything at all

Thank ladies-

I'm also thinking it's probably rude. But just didn't know if it could be a way to include those that we couldn't include for the actual wedding.

Having this tight list is hard! Trying to not hurt the feelings of those that we aren't able to invite. But definetely don't want to make them feel any worse by inviting them to the after party only.
