I think I mentioned this before, but my husband and I had a B-list. We paid for the wedding almost entirely ourselves, and both have pretty large families. In our case, we did a big brain dump of everyone we'd possibly want to invite to our wedding, and then had to cut back to match our budget.
We both have pretty big families, so there were friends who ended up on the B-list. But dear God, we did NOT TELL anyone they were on our B-list! That's awful! We just sent the invites early enough and set ourselves a timeline that if we had X "nos" by Y date, we could invite Z more people.
Didn't really work, since most people dawdled to the very end to respond, but we did manage to get a few more people invited. We just sent them actual invites and it was well within the time frame to RSVP.
It wasn't a case of throwing a huge blowout wedding and wanting more people for ROI. These were truly people we wanted to invite, but couldn't afford to.
