We have this couple friend - they are newly married. This is his first marriage, her second. They have their first kid together due 3 weeks before our wedding (but it's her second kid, she has one from a previous marriage). Anyway, we would love for them to attend; however, there was this understood thing that they very well might not be able to make it because..well, people don't usually have a baby exactly on time unless its a c-section (or induced but even then). Even if the baby was born on that day, or even a few days before, I don't know how they would then drive 2.5 hours and find child care for a newborn. Anyway, what does one do in this situation? She said that doesn't know how to RSVP, that they are going to do everything they can to attend, but that she can't control when the baby comes. I said, well, keep us in the loop and we can revisit as we get closer. It's pretty close, the catering order is due in 2 weeks, and I'm trying to figure out what to do here. (They did RSVP yes). What would you do? I also have a great aunt who said "to mark her as a yes but that she might not be able to come because she is in a lot of pain and scheduled a big surgery 3 days after the wedding". She's more of a grandmother than a great aunt - obviously we're making an exception for her - you can't control pain - but knowing that we now have at *least four people in this situation (great aunt's husband is the 4th), we aren't sure how to handle. Gah!
