I just went back to fb, and have now received a hen's night save the date I am 1 of 50.
If you truly feel uncomfortable responding, then I wouldn't. However if you are unsure or inclined to say yes, respond with an address and take the time to decide if you want to go to the wedding later after you receive the invitation. If you don't want to, you can always RSVP no.
EDIT: didn't see the hen's post. Hmmm, maybe she doesn't have a lot of friends?
@simpleandchic: It sounds like maybe she doesn't have a lot of friends she's close to anymore and my try to be re-connecting with old friends.
I'd definitely send your address for the wedding invite and then play the hen party by ear.
Does she live near by? Maybe see if she wants to go out for lunch/brunch sometime soon to catch up before the big event? That way you can start to reconnect before the wedding.
I agree with Olive12-- RSVP no on the FB groups and if she asks, come up with a good reason.
Thanks ladies you all have some great ideas.
I'd just send your address, you can always RSVP "no" later. And I agree with a PP; if you leave nearby one another, meet up for coffee or lunch and catch up before the wedding!
Do u know other people in the list? Maybe if she thought some of your other close friends were invited than you'd feel left out. Or maybe she did feel close to you at some point and even if you arn't close now maybe at one point she thought you were and that you should be part of her day.
If liked the girl before I'd prob go, why not?
i think i might wait a few days and see who responds (u can see cause its on fb) if some of the other girls from school do I will too.
Another thought, not knowing what the hen's list looks like, the 50 invites may be all the females invited, excluding older relatives?
Another question - are you geographically close? When deciding what to do, for me it often comes down to "how much time and money do I need to expend to go, vs how close is this person?" ie - Invite to a wedding on a Thurs night, in a town which is a 14 hour drive away... that requires lots of gas money, hotel, meals out, plus at least two, if not three days taken off work. For my brother or cousin, sure thing, for a distant friend, I probably can't justify it.
I'd probably just wait it out a bit and see who responds before making any sort of decision. You can always give your address and then decide from there once it gets closer to the date. I agree that it seems a little awkward to be getting an invite from someone from the distant past, but maybe she's having a huge wedding and is inviting everyone she once knew?

A girl I went to highschool with 11 years ago just sent out fb save the dates (ie an event invitation on fb).
She has 400 fb friends and only sent it to 150 people me being one of them. She is a really nice girl but I haven't really seen her since school and we weren't in the same friendship group then either.
The message advises us of the date for both the wedding ceremony and the reception and then she asks for our address so she can send out invites,.
Part of me would like to go, because I like weddings and it would be a nice way to catch up with old school mates as there are others invited + if she really would like me there i don't want to hurt her feelings by not responding. However I really don't know her ...well hardly at all ....and i would feel a bit silly responding with my address, any thoughts.
