Should I or should I not invite them? Sometimes it's easy, especially with acquaintances. It tends to be distant relatives that you rarely if ever see that present the toughest challenge. Then I use the 25 year rule, which is this:
If you think that there is a chance that at some point during the next 25 years they might become important to you, you should invite them.
Why? Your lives are about to change dramatically, and so will your circle of friends, both family and non-family. These people that you are not inclined to invite could become very close. And if you plan to have children, your kids could become close to their kids. It would be a shame to always regret not having invited these people. And why 25 years? Well, if you do have children, 25 years will get them past college. And it's certain that by then you will have forgotten the cost of those extra meals.
