Am I the only one that thinks that the the B-list thing isn't the worst thing in the world? I can imagine it working ONLY in certain situations:
1) You DO NOT tell some one they are on the B-list.
2) You really do want someone to attend, but maybe due to size restrictions/finances you just can't invite them. I know, I know, don't have a big expensive wedding if you can't afford it and don't pick a small venue if you want a big wedding. But I would imagine there has got to be SOME instances of a couple planning modest wedding that just can't invite everyone they'd like too...right?
3) Don't invite just because you want gifts.
Disclaimer: No, I don't have a B-list. My dad's family is gigantic (50 first cousins & their families...tons of aunts and uncles...my parent's wedding was 350 people!) and we had to cut out a lot of people. Yes, they are "only cousins", but for how many there are, we actually do see most of them pretty often, so it was a tough decision. There's no WAY we could do a B-list because if we invite so and so, then we HAVE to invite so and so. It just never ends so we decided to be very firm with who we are inviting.
I will agree though that the past few examples of B-lists shared in this thread are VERY rude!
