So, we have a wedding planner for Sept 2020. We have sent out the invitations and what not due to COVID we want to give people time to decide if they are coming and so we can see if we can invite our "C list" people without going over our number of 130.
Here is the problem, my husband has a small family that is currently not speaking to each other and are all fighting over something that happened almost 2 years ago (We don't even know what it is about). We tried to go by their house, he has called, written letters and wrote a personal invitation to them with his number and everything. This side of his family in his words are "the gateway" to other people that he does not have contact with (they are older, not on FB or anything like that). With the family closing him out too (although he literally has moved from that city 2 years ago and has nothing to do with the issues they are having), I am concerned he will only have about 10 people from his side come to support and attend the wedding.
As of right now, we are going to wait until about July before taking them off the list to see if we get any type of response, and choose to invite others, but I don't know what to do if they do show up the day of, with NO indication they had the plan to. My husband is heartbroken about this and I am trying not to push the conversation. What would you do in this situation? Take them off the list now? Invite "c list" people now? Wait it out? Do not invite "c list" people and just hope they show?
Thanks!
