Hi all,
I'm engaged and planning to get married within the next two years - however I am currently working on my PhD, so I will still be in school when the wedding happens.
Our wedding budget is almost nonexistent, which means the number of people we can invite is extremely limited.
My main question is, what is the etiquette for whom to invite?
I don't want to sound horrible - but I don't really want to invite anyone from my department for several reasons: money, the wedding will be in a different (far away) location, I associate people from my grad school life with stress, etc.
However, I recognize that I should probably invite some people from the department (besides my advisor). Any thoughts or recommendations?
