I have a friend and actually, a coworker, that is getting married this fall. We work with another girl that, well, is just one of those girls that my friend doesn't want at her wedding. More than once, this girl has asked my friend when she is going to get her invitation to the wedding. I don't how to help with this situation because I only had a small wedding and didn't invite many people anyway. I've told my friend that it is HER day and if she doesn't want someone there, she shouldn't have to invite them. How can she tell this girl that without sounding too mean and offending her?

That's a tough one. She could maybe say it's only and intimate occasion for family and super close friends.. weddings are a private new beginning for couples don't let an unwanted guest spoil it.

Your friend can tell this girl that she would love to invite her to her wedding but its only going to be close friends and family seeing as both the bride and groom have large famillies that it would cost her a fourtune to invite all of her friends. Let this other girl know that its not just her that is not being invited that there are plenty other friends that she would like to invite but just not enough money for everyone to come (food cost alot) and the church/ reception place only holds a limited amount of guests and the groom and her are already over their limit.

If she doesn't like this woman enough to want her at the wedding she shouldn't be so concerned about hurting her feelings. Next time she asks tell her your sorry but there is only a limited amount of space. You'd love for her to be there but you would never hear the end of it if you didn't invite your fiance's great Aunt and of coarse all of her eight children.

Handle it with complete honesty. If I were getting married, I'd pull this person aside and tell her, "This might be a bit awkward, but I just don't feel that you and I are close enough to have you at my wedding." This needs to be done privately and at the end of a business day. That way she has a night to get adjusted to it and the drama won't spill out into your office.
Good Luck.

Email is less embarrassing for all involved.
Have her send it to some other people, too, so that the one person won't be embarrassed (or make up email addresses that look like they're going to real people she's never heard of.)
"Hi, Friends,
I know you are all excited for our wedding. We wish we could invite everyone who's ever touched our lives. . . but that's just not possible. We've looked at our budget, and we had to cut it off somewhere. I hope you understand that we can't have everyone. Thanks so much for understanding.
Best,
Kathy and Tom."

She just says, sorry, the number of invitations were limited, and though she didn't like the situation, she couldn't invite everyone she wanted to.

Just mention you have a limited seating and are only inviting close family and friends.

tell her that she was only able to invite a certain amount of people from work because she has an extremely limited amount of room on her guest list.

If there's a large risk that he would grow to be unruly by way of eating, then that's superb to no longer have any alcohol around in the time of the funeral itself, or something that precedes it or follows it. i do no longer think of your chum can particularly attempt to maintain his father from attending. She became the mummy of a minimum of one among his infants, meaning there is an ordinary connection there. yet somebody ought to save a watch on him. If issues get truly out of hand, the police can constantly be referred to as. .

"it is HER day and if she doesn't want someone there, she shouldn't have to invite them."
i think this is enough right here. beating around the bush is not going to go very far.
