someone LW has presumably not spoken to in probably over 10 years
I don't know that you can assume that. My brother is 35 and in frequent contact with many of our mother's friends who were our neighbors when we were growing up; they have kids close to his age and he hangs out in the same social circles as they do. I'm 41 and I chat with those same friends once a year at my mom's birthday party. There's really no way to be sure what kind of relationship the LW has with her friend's daughter. I do think that if they were close the LW would have mentioned that, but there's a pretty wide range of ways to be not-close.
Good luck with the wedding planning! The guest list is often the hardest part.
