If there's a really special guest or two, then I'd say it's worth a bit more effort to find out if they're going to be there. But I still wouldn't book them food unless you have a 70% indication that they're going to be there.

Some are from my new sister-in-laws family. My mom invited them as a way for everyone to get to know eachother better. She emailed them directly, I tried getting ahold of them and my mom asked my sister-in-law several times to see if she could get a response, but nothing. Now, my sister-in-law is saying her sisters and parents (total of about 11 people, as some want to bring their husbands/boyfriends). I think when she initially invited them it meant a lot to get to know them, but the fact they didn't respond at all has ruined that idea entirely.
Aside from them, a few people she used to work with, go to school with, etc. that she's not terribly concerned with seeing again.

Do you get to be a bridesmaid? If so, we expect pictures!

My brothers aren't exactly subtle, so they will literally say, "F*** off" and my mom, I don't think, likes that aspect of the plan.
And no, not a bridesmaid, so no pictures.
