Invitations- does everyone have a an A and B list?

Original post by Gretchen

Just wondering if everyone does an A and B list for the invitations? My problem is this....my reception only holds 180 people, but more like 150 comfortably.....we have over 220 people to invite, FMIL keeps adding on neighbors, friends from church etc.....I told FH that we should go through the list and send out the essentials (close friends and family) first and then when we start getting declines, then send out the non-essentitals and he agreed. Well, when we told his mom, she said that it was rude to do this. She is not getting the point that we simply don't have enough room and we don't know how many people will reply with a no. Until we start getting some no's in, we will have to wait to invite the non-essential people. What do you guys think about this, am I being rude? I thought that most people have an A and B list. I asked my invitation lady and she said that most people that she deals with do this. Help.....am I being rude?

nope. We have one list. We are budgeting for everyone. I don't think we will have a problem meeting our minimum at our hall, so if people rsvp no, then thats just more money for us!
