Guest list is falling apart

Long Post.
So i thought 2020 was going to be an amazing year. But with the virus, stress and now having my office closed for right now due to the virus is just getting to be alot.. on top of thag my fiance and his dad had a falling out and have not been able to reconcile. In the past they have had a rocky relationship but the last few years they really had a strong relationship. Now this falling out really put the nail in the coffin and they havent spoken.
We also recently got into an argument with his sister, and her and her fiance have dropped out of being in our wedding party but want to attend as "guests"
The dilemma is, we already sent out save the dates. When we were planning last year his dad planned on offering us money, which then we allowed him to invite multiple friends weve never met and very distant family members that we dont have relationships with. We dont care about the money, and will be fine wedding planning without it. But if he decides not to attend what do we do about the people he wanted invited? Weve never met them and feel it would be super odd to have them at our wedding if his dad isnt there.Overall 2020 has sucked big time, its all becoming a bit to much. Im starting to feel wedding planning is more of a hassle and with all this drama i feel like nobody cares. Ive talked to multiple friends and they have assured me that everything will work out and that the people who care about us will be at our wedding and thats all that matters. Im trying to keep positive. But id love some positive words or advice

    With all this that is going on it’s kinda hard to stay positive but that’s all we can do. You’re wedding will turn out just wonderful with your loved ones by your side. When it comes to the people your FFIL invited in my opinion I wouldn’t invite them since you all don’t even know them like that. Don’t feel bad either this day is all about you and your future husband. Best of luck to you ❤️

    Thank you for the kind words!.
    As for uninviting these people how do you recommend doing that? We wont send them invites but id hate for them to show up day of. We had the time and location on our wedding website, but took it down for now so the people we are uninviting wont have the info

    That is kinda tough me personally if i don’t get an invite to an event i won’t show up. I would think they would get the point if they get an invite it’s for a reason But again it is kinda tough to say

    Thats true. If i didnt get an invite id get the hint. But alot of these people apparently didnt know what save the dates were and might assume those were the actual invites lol

    It's a hard one. I wouldn't expect that they would all come. The dad probably will attend the wedding as it's his son and if he doesn't then maybe he will contact those same people and tell them he's not going. Either way it sucks and with everything going on no one needs any more stress but just remember you are marrying your best friend and starting a new life with you new husband. If you remember all the reasons why you love him and want to spend the rest of your life with him he should help copping with the stress.

    IMO, I would just invite everyone you had planned to invite. 1. If you don't invite your future FIL's "guest list" it might further draw a line in the sand that might prevent him from coming to your wedding if he is just bluffing at the moment 2. If your FIL really doesn't plan to attend, he will get the message to his friends so I feel it would be unlikely that many of them would come. 3. He will most likely change his mind by the time of your wedding. 4. If you have the time, put those guests on the "B" list and send out their invites a little later


    Good luck and take care Smiley smile
