Getting sentimental

Is it just me? As I'm trying to formulate our guest list, I'm finding myself thinking about people with whom I've lost touch over the years. I seem to be thinking about old friends, who were so important at one time, with whom I never had a falling out, we simply lost that close friendship.

As I'm writing out the guest list, it feels strange to think that some of those people won't be there. That's what has me thinking. I still keep in some kind of contact with most of the people to whom I am referring - an email, text, or FB message here and there.

Is it strange to want to invite some of these people? Actually, I don't think I'm asking if the feeling is strange because I don't think it is at all. I guess my question is more would it be strange to actually extend an invitation to some of these people?

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I know the feeling..maybe you can put them on your b list? In case lots of people can't come, then you have that option :)

It is definitely something that puts things into perspective - there were so many people I would have sworn I'd invite to my wedding, until it was actually happening... you never realize how much time has flown or how quickly you (or others) have changed!

trust me i feel the same way! If i could I would invite everyone I have ever been friends with!

it does bother me that im not as close with a lot of peopl anymore, and always wonder why. Especially friends from high school that i was so close with that I spent every weekend with.

I know the feeling hun, going through the same thing. I extended the invite to many people who I sort of lost touch with, but miss the friendship....its tough thought cause some people are like 'after all these years ur inviting me?'

I think you kind of have to cut the list at a certain point, and that is hard and it kind of makes you sad about past friends, etc

I think that is normal....but you can't invite everyone!
