Just a quick question on bumping guests, we have about 8 people we'd love to have all day but because of budget we can't, we are sending day invites out end of feb with a deadline of 18 May!! Hoping to send out evening invites end of may with either the 8 being day or evening (if that makes sense)
How will that work as they won't get a day invite when the others go out???
Sorry if that's waffly!! Xx

We're considering bumping up evening guests as well and are planning on doing something similar. I think it sounds like a good plan - I guess the only problem would be if those 8 guests know people who are invited all day. If they find out that other people have got all day invites and then there invites turn up a bit later than everyone else they might figure out they've been bumped up?

I honestly think what you have planned will be fine, its the accepted way that invites for weddings work. You'll prob get some back well before the end if may and if there are spaces appearing you can send out those extra day invites as and when you know. And if they work out that they've been bumped I wouldn't worry, most normal, sensible people know what weddings as like and totally understand. Most of them prob wont have a clue anyway! It'll be fine, nod if any one did feel slightly put out by it the bump up they'd never say it to you any way!! Stress less my dear, sounds like you've got it under control. xx

Thank you Lizzy...
Yeah joey that's what I was thinking, they do kinda know each other, I think they'd feel like afterthoughts. X

But only for about 5 mins! A bunch of us at my work got invited to our colleagues wedding quite near the time so we knew we were all back ups but we didn't really mind at, just enjoyed going! x
U could tell them they're maybes for the day and u literally can not fit more ppl in the venue in the day for health n safety but if u get ppl invited for the day that say they can't make it,u could then bump those guests up?x

I spoke to the people that would be bumped if space, explaining that i would love them to be there, but i couldnt afford it, but if people dropped out, then they would be top of the list. everyone seemed fine about it. as it happens no on dropped, so i will now send the evening invites out

if people RSVP no to the day then just ask the evening guests if they would like to be a guest all day as you have room for them
just make sure you have a shortlist of those you want to bump up

I think that this will be fine, especially as you might not even have to wait so long to invite them if people are quick with their RSVP's!
