    Hey ladies, I've got an etiquette queston for you (Miss Manners doesn't get into bachelorette parties as far as I can tell)... 

    - our wedding is going to be mostly family and dearest friends (see: former roommates), so we have very few friends on the guest list

    - my bachelorette party is currently at 7 guests (myself included) - my old roommies who are also wedding guests

    - we're planning on doing a pub crawl around our alma mater, hitting all the places we went as undergrads

    What are your thoughts on inviting other friends from undergrad who would enjoy the nostalgia, even though they won't be getting wedding invites (and they know this)? Is that weird? It doesn't seem "wrong" since they won't be buying gifts, but it also seems like it could be awkward if/when talk turns to the wedding.

    I think they may wonder why they were called to party with the bride but not attend the wedding.  Honestly it sounds a little odd to me.  If you're not close to these girls anymore it may be a bit awkward as well.  They may question why they're not considered "dearest friends."

    However if your wedding is just going to be super small affair and they know this, and you are still somewhat close and they want to attend the bachelorette party, then I don't see a problem with that.  It also depends on how many girls... it would be sad for there only to be one or two odd girls out.
