Has anyone invited themselves to your wedding?

And if so, what did you do about it?!

DP and I are getting married next year... It's going to be a casual camping weekend affair, family and close friends, bit of a festival vibe etc etc

I've had two friends assume they are invited and talk to me as if they are already coming (we haven't organised anything, let alone sent invites), one of the couples live in America and have talked about changing their plans so that they'll be here on holiday when our wedding is taking place - I hadn't planned to invite them and am not sure what to do now. My relationship with the US couple used to be close but since I moved back to the UK it has dwindled.... The other couple are neighbours so would feel awkward about not inviting them (or rather dispelling their assumptions)!

I'm crap at confrontation - any ideas/similar experiences?

Sometimes in a friendship, one friend feels it is a closer friendship than the other friend does. That doesn't usually matter. But weddings expose this and so leave some people feeling hurt.

I agree colley and have been on both sides of this. Left out of a wedding that I thought I'd be invited to and am planning a small wedding that most of my friends aren't coming to. It's very difficult either way!
