@joannaholman I had a situation like this many years ago. A friend of mine was having a wedding. (Not a super-close friend, but in my social circle.) The couple decided to only invite their absolute closest friends and family. Apparently I wasn't originally on the invite list. But then one day I called her up about something else and ended up talking to her about the wedding. All the details. Location, when, what her dress was like, how the planning was going, where the reception was going to be, picking bridesmaids' dresses. By the end of the call, she felt so guilty about not inviting me that both my best friend and I were both added to the guest list. I guess the moral of the story is yes, you can guilt your way into a wedding invite 😁
