My wedding is 16 months away, but one of my good friends already can't make it because she's a BM in another wedding. We're close enough that I was going to have her do a reading, but not close enough that I'd have her as a BM. Anyway, FH said 'now she doesn't have to send us a gift because we won't invite her,' (typical FH thinking - always about the $$$ first) but I thought we should still invite her anyway because she is a close friend out of courtesy, and who knows what's going to happen in the next 16 months.
Knowing that she can't make it, do we still send the save the date and invitation? I don't want her to feel obligated to send a gift, and she wouldn't be offended by not getting an invite because of the situation, but I still don't feel right not sending something.
Thoughts? Thanks!!!

I would still send the invitation - like most of the girls said it's more a courtesy and respect thing than anything else. I'm inviting a bunch of guests that live in Italy who I know are definitely not attending but i know they would be offended if i didn't even send them an invitation.

I would still send it......i think its common ettiquette to send it and its her decision to send a gift or not

I would still send an invitiation. She would probably feel hurt to not be invited.
