Wedding tit for wedding tat: Am I obligated to invite someone to my wedding if they invited me to theirs?

I’m getting married this fall, and we’ve done our best to keep the guestlist under 100 people. Of course a smaller guestlist has meant making a lot of tough decisions about who not to invite, but them’s the breaks.

…Except for now I just got an invitation to an acquaintance inviting me to HER wedding! Needless to say, this is an acquaintance who I’m NOT inviting to our wedding… what do I do?

Amanda & Alex’s silly DIY barbecue wedding

A hardcore band nerd married a bookworm who doesn’t know how to play a kazoo properly, but damned if they didn’t totally celebrate their shared loves of science fiction, games, music, and all things ridiculous. With a modest budget, they had a wedding that had something for everyone: board games, frisbee, a photo booth, dancing, booze, and lots and lots of BBQ.

Andrea & Steve’s laid-back Mario-themed budget wedding

Old skool Nintendo details abound in this bright and happy state park wedding. We’ve got a handmade Mario brick block card box, a Mario and Peach cake with baby mushroom cupcakes all around, and cactus favors which fit right into the theme. But it wasn’t all just gamer hijinks: sweet vows and a super meaningful ring made it all very romantic. Oh, and you’ll LOVE this pair’s unity ceremony!

A sweet and tiny Little White Chapel wedding in Las Vegas

Jacylyn and John brought their nearest and dearest to the kitschy wonderland that is The Little White Chapel in Las Vegas for their adorably tiny wedding. Apparently the cheers at the end of the ceremony could be heard down the strip! The next day was all about a fashion shoot at the Bellagio Fountain and cocktails and gambling at The Cosmopolitan.
