Q: I am geting married in my home state and feel that a lot of my friends/relatives in the state where I live/work will not be able to attend due to the cost. Do you think I still need to send them an invitation?

A: Yes, I believe that invitations should be sent to persons who are important in your life – without regard to whether or not you think they will be able to attend. You might be surprised as to who will attend. In some cases friends/family who have enough notice will plan their vacation around your wedding, a “weekend getaway”, etc. in order to share this momentous occasion with you.
