Is it weird to....

invite people I haven't seen in 11 years to the wedding?

I was close with a group of 4 girls in high school, and after we graduated I moved out of state. We barely kept in touch (internet only) and I haven't physically seen them since HS.

I really wanted to see them! WOuld it be weird to invite them if I haven't seen them in so long?

I feel weird about it! They have been asking me about the wedding on facebook and I feel bad telling them about it and not inviting them. Then again...I dont want them to think I'm inviting them to be a gift grubber....I just miss them lol

ahhhh

Re: Is it weird to....

Only you know the relationship you had with these girls ... I am inviting one girl who I have seen once since Ive graduated HS MANY years ago but her and I very very close. And we still kept in touch via FB and texting ... If you guys were that close than I dont think they would find it gift grubbing if you invited them JMO

It all depends. My MOH ran into a childhood friend that invited her to her wedding in Boston. She hadn't seen her in 10 years!! She went though becuase they were sooo close

I invited 2 girls from HS that I see maybe once a year. Neither of them could make it, but they both appreciated the gesture.

Eh. Personally if I was invited to someone's wedding who I haven't spoken to or seen in 11 years I wouldn't go.

Re: Is it weird to....

Re: Is it weird to....

I have a better one: I had a table at my wedding of distant family my mom hasnt seen in 35 yrs, since HER wedding
they all came and they were all OOT's
and my DH had his best friend from junior high, who also came and they havent kept in touch until like a yr ago

sometimes ppl use these opportunities as a reunion

only u can tell if its weird or not

Wow! Thats a long time!!!!!

I agree-a lot of people do use weddings as reunions! My mom is inviting all her cousins we never see and a friend from TX who only comes by when something major is happening.
