I am having a bit of a dilemma. We are having a relatively small wedding of 60 guests. We are only inviting very close family and friends and that is IT. This is due to our wishes, as well as budget. But mostly because I have a large family and don’t want a 150+ person wedding.
My mom thinks I should still send invites to all of those out of town relatives...( basically hoping they decline because we have the venue booked for 60 people. )I told her no, that this was rude and gift grabby and I don’t want to do that.
I thought she understood - but she brought it up again this weekend asking if we could send an invite to my aunt who is like her second mom. I know she won’t come - and I don’t want her to feel like I’m soliciting gifts!
What do I do!! I think sending her some engagement and the wedding photos with a nice note is a good compromise... but I just need some outside opinions!
