bachlorette party protocol

so this may be stupid but figuring out who to invite to bachelor/bachlorette parties. . .

1. is it awful to invite folks who you are not inviting to the wedding? i have a new friend I really like but will prob not invite to wedding unless we get to our B list. .

2. can I not invite people I am inviting to the wedding

TIA

Your not supposed to invite people that arent invited to the wedding. I dont know IMO its kinda rude.
The only way I would say people would come that arent invited is if like your friend wanted to bring a friend or something that you dont really know. Like FH sister is in my bridal party and I told her she can bring ANYONE she wants to the bachelorette party so she doesnt have to feel uncomfortable since she doesnt know all my friends.

And no you dont HAVE to invite everyone whose invited to the wedding. Just close friends. =)

Thanks that was kind of my thought about inviting people who weren't coming to the wedding. . it just seemed rude but wasn't sure

i wouldnt mind if i already knew i wasnt/couldnt go to the wedding...i have a friend whose bach party i wanna go to but we arent invited to the wedding!

at the very least, its a fun night out with the girls!
