DEAR MISS MANNERS: When I issue online invitations to multiple guests at once, I generally use the option to hide the guest list from invitees. I’m not sure why I do this, except that back when I sent invitations through the mail, nobody got (or expected) a list of the other invitees.

However, some of our friends, before they tell us whether they plan to attend or not, immediately ask who else is invited or who else is coming. It makes me wonder if they only plan to attend if the list includes the Cool Kids.

GENTLE READER: Wonder no more.
