Cancelling Big Wedding

As a guest, I would be upset if I spent $ on an airline ticket/pre-booked hotel/rental car. HOWEVER, you are the bride/groom so do what you feel comfortable with, regardless of your near-death experience.

Would a gift help? I don't feel comfortable making all of my guests who are family and friends upset. This is why I'm asking.

A gift would not help if I had spent a couple hundred dollars on non-refundable flights. I think this point it’s probably best to continue with what you’ve got planned honestly.

Okay thank you. I wanted honest opinions. We did do a hotel buyout for the wedding so if we kept the reservation so guests could still stay there would that be better? They'd still get a vacation just no wedding.

I personally would be upset at first but at the same time, your health is also very important. You want to look and feel your best on what's supposed to be one of the best days of your life. I wouldn't expect anything in return for cancelling. It's unfortunate that it's so close to your date but no matter what you choose I hope everything is well with you.

I’m so sorry for your recent experience. I hope you are doing better. Im sure your friends and family will understand your situation. I know the road to physical and emotional healing can be hard after a life altering event. Just a thought. Have you considered having your small wedding but possibly still having a reception with everyone you already invited. Even if you only stay at your own reception for a short time it might make everyone’s trip not be in vein. As you continue to recover you may regret not celebrating with everyone you had originally planned.
I hope you have peace with whatever you decide!

Oh man that is a tough one. But when it comes down to it, your health comes first and I would hope your guests understand. Take care of yourself and good luck with whatever you choose

Thank you! It has been hard and I wish I had more time to deal with everything. Just having a reception could work. Thanks for the suggestion!
