I would put her on a B-list because even though you are inviting over your 120 limit, many people don't show up (you'd be surprised) so you may have room to squeeze her in

You have no obligation to invite her just because you were invited to hers. You invite people because you want to share your day with them, not to reciprocate another invite.
I'm having a small wedding and can't possibly invite everyone to whose wedding I've been to.

I agree. I just had a similar situation with a friend from school. Her wedding is 2 weeks before mine and she invited us. I felt bad, but we are at our max with the invite list.
I limited my list by inviting people who i think will still be in my life in 10 years. It's a great way to narrow your numbers.

B-list her! And if you can't invite her and she asks just explain that you already went way over what yo expected and were not able to accomodate anymore people. She's a bride she should inderstand!

I agree...only invite her if you really WANT her there.

I would just explain that you already have put your guest list together...and can not add more guests...believe me she will understand..since she is planning a wedding herself....In a perfect world we could invite anyone we want to our wedding..without worrying about head counts and ppp...

You should invite them. Two more people won't make a big difference. They might not want to travel from Florida

What I would do is, if me and FH decided to attend their wedding, I would invite her to mine. It is reciprocating, but maybe you don't always have to follow the regimented rules. When it comes to weddings and lists, people will turn their noses and always remember you as not inviting them to your wedding. So I would invite them, what's 2 more people?

Re: wedding invite???
Also, even though she as well is a bride and will understand, she's also a bride who probably had to add a few to her list even though she couldn't afford it and just maybe you and your FH are those people. You can look at it that way. It's better to just invite her, then to not invite her.
