I think you should be honest with him and say you decided to have a smaller wedding. From what you wrote, he simply asked if he was invited but YOU invited him and despite his shortcomings it is your responsibility to tell him that he is no longer invited... Avoiding the problem is not going to solve anything and all because he put you on the spot does not make your response any less genuine. Good luck!Date: 5/18/2009 1:09:58 PM

What should I do about this one?
We see this guy (a family friend's college roommate who works at the same company I do, but the company is enormous and he works at a different branch) a couple of times a year. Christmas and maybe one other function. He's not someone we would have invited to our wedding, nor were we planning on it.
Before we got engaged, he asked if he was invited.I said sure, because he put me on the spot, and we weren't even engaged yet! Did he forget, NOPE! He asked this weekend if we'd sent out STD's yet. Dude, are you kidding me?!?! I told him we only sent to family and the BP, which is true.
So I feel like we're stuck inviting him, and since he's dense to etiquette rules anyway, he'll probably bring a date.Do we invite him in case he feels like making a stink about it? Our wedding is becoming a circus in that people who weren't invited think they are with dates and costs because of that are ballooning out of my comfort zone.
