it is a month before our wedding, and we have thought of a few more people we would like to invite. they are more distant..i.e. good friend's sister and her family, my sister's boyfriend's family, a long lost college friend that recently rekindled...
is there a proper or nice way to invite these people without making them feel like B-list-ers?

Send them out now, so it doesnt get to them to late. They will never know when you sent out the first batch. Congrats

There is no way to avoid the awkwardness of a late invitation at this point. You should send it anyway. Maybe give them a call and let them know it's in the mail and you really want them to come. I think the situation with the long lost college friend will be less awkward though, since you two were out of touch for a while.

Our wedding is next month also...we had a "B-list" also because we are trying to keep the guest list as small as possible. We just told people we sent out "2 rounds" of invitations so we wouldn't get all the response cards at once. It seems to be working out o.k. and nobody is none the wiser!!

Well, obviously, the rekindled friendship is easy - just explain that you're glad you've reconnected and would like them to attend.
Take a minute to reconsider the other guests - are you inviting them because you want them to share your joy or are you inviting them out of obligation?
You're not obligated to invite anyone.
But if you feel you want to, do it now.
Good luck.

It is best you call them up. You can explain how you have been able to accomodate more people than you anticipated and you would love them to attend. And since its so close to the date, they may not be able to come. But make sure you call since its too late to send out invites!
Congrats on the Wedding!

There's no way around it- they are going to know they are b-listers. In the case of the person you just reconnected with, you could call her and say "I know it is late notice, but now that we're back in touch I'd love to have you at the wedding."
Before you add a bunch of people, think carefully- is it worth the added expense to you? I don't know anyone who wishes they invivted more people to their wedding after the fact- they always wish they had cut the list and saved some money.

Well, honestly is usually a good thing.
However, this may be bad of me, but you could do this: Call your friend and ask her if she knows if she is able to come or not because you haven't received a response card yet! You were just calling because you were hoping she was and wanted to make sure!
What! You didn't get it? I sent it a couple weeks ago!
=)
But, like I said, honesty is the best policy! And, hey, if she really is your friend, she will totally understand. Don't stress!

send them invitations now. its better than if u sent them the day before or something like that. even though its a few months away, it'll still give them a few months to think if they can go.
