go ahead and hand them out unless you think that they'll be offended by you putting them on the "plan b" list

Theres nothing wrong with handing them out. You only have a short time and it would take more time just to get their address from them than giving it to them. I highly doubt anyone will even think twice about it

Please take the time to mail them. It's to tacky to hand them out like it's for a children bithday party. This is your special day!

If you are worried about having proper wedding etiquette then yes mail them, but its not a big deal to you then just let them know your situation and hand them there invite.

Hi. Well, you can hand them out. But if it's only a couple weeks away, obviously they will know that they were on the "B" list! And, since that will be getting into the Christmas party season, don't expect that many will be able to attend.

I don't see anything wrong with handing them out since you see them almost every day! My girls that I see very often told me to just hand them out to them, so that we save time and money on postage.

Sounds a bit tacky to me. It's like saying " Oh by the way, you weren't on my original list of people to invite but if you have nothing else to do on short notice, would you like to come to my wedding ?" Look you have already blown it. When you plan a wedding, especially one near Christmas, you can plan on about 10% of theose invited to not be able to come. Those on the B list should have been invited initially. If you planned on 200 people coming to your wedding invite 220. You are paying the caterer for an expected 200 people. If only 180 show up you are losing money. But if 210 show up it is easy to add 1 more table and pay the extra. You will get most of that back in presents and gratitude any way.

it is more traditional to mail them out but it is in better edicit to give them plenty of time to rsvp and see if they can make arrangement to be there, the time factor is always an issue!!!!! so at this point in time you should hand them out

I think it is o.k to hand out the ones you don't have an address for. When you are handing them to the person tell them that you couldn't find their address. If they are your friends they should understand.

Hand them out. If you do it at a meeting (and everyone attending the meeting is invited) make a big deal about how excited you are to have them come (if they can). They will be happy.
