Can we have two rounds of invites?

So my Fh and I have had 2 guestlsits for a while now- the definite and the maybe's (if theres room). We just finished our invites and want to start sending them out to the definite list but were not sure how to go about this? Problem is if everyone on our definite list can make it then the maybes won't fit. Can we send out 2 rounds of invites without it being awkward or do we need to make the final guestlist decisions prior to sending out any invites?

Thoughts? Opinions? TIA!

    2 rounds of invites are a secure way to know declines coming in an others on List B can fill in for those seats.

    I would send out the defines earlier than normal that way you can send the maybes earlier as well so people dont feel like they were second on your list.

    Sure can! That's what me and my DH did! First round went out at the 5 month mark with a 3 month RSVP date deadline and the second round went out that same week with a 1 month mark RSVP date deadline. Just need to have two set of invites with different RSVP dates on them.

    You can totally do this - if it’s possible, I’d recommend having the second set of invites with a longer rsvp date. We did that, and it worked great for us!

    Definitely! And maybe rank your "maybes" so as negative RSVPs come back you can invite the most important maybes first.

    A and B guest lists are fine in my opinion! I don’t see a problem with it.
