Hello!
After initially planning our wedding to be local and doing it more of the traditional way, we decided that we are instead going to elope to Nashville as we are the only ones paying for our wedding and don't want to go into debt doing it the traditional way. Both of my FH's parents have passed away, but his aunt, uncles, and cousins really value family a lot however, my FH isn't too close to them. In an ideal world, we would just invite our parents and siblings, but if that was the case it would just be my side as my FH doesn't have siblings and his parents have passed away. My family on the other hand, I don't talk to much other than holidays, and I know that most of them wouldn't be able to afford going to Nashville with us. We were thinking of sending out invitations anyways to just cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, my parents, and siblings giving them the option to join us if they can. Then we thought about it just being us two and not inviting family members, but don't want to hurt our family's feelings. Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
Mary
