Dear Amy: I have casual friends who offered their property to host my daughter’s wedding. They have an expansive, beautiful property.
We hesitantly but politely declined, as it would be too risky to plan the wedding without a tent, and a tent could not fit into the space.
However, I then asked if they would be willing to allow us to have the shower at their property, and again they generously offered us exclusive use – for free.
I am beyond blessed by this and I am so excited to have my daughter’s bridal shower there.
My question is this: Should this couple be invited to the wedding, as a way to thank them for their generosity? We have been trying very hard to cut down the guest list, which is already over our limit. They are just not close friends, and don’t know our daughter and her fiancé.
However, I feel like I am not returning the generosity.
What should I do?
