I need some advise. I know what I want to do, but it’s more of needing back up or other ideas of the idea. (Photos below for inspiration)
Both my fiancé and I have been planning a large wedding for September 2021 in our local church. As time gets closer and closer, I have noticed I haven’t done much planning for decorations and the thought of having a larger wedding is sort of is nerve wrecking. I’ve always loved the thought of having a more of an intimate wedding. I brought it up to my fiancé and he likes the idea of having our parents, siblings + SO’s, grandparents, and a few of our friends for an intimate wedding. After the ceremony, take a few pictures, and head off to this restaurant with a lovely “party room”.
One of my main things I know will happen is that we would invite our handful of friends and then the rest of our family (who we didn’t invite) would get upset thinking we care more of our friends than family (which is not true). I’m just trying to find a way to make family feel included and that we care about them but without inviting them to the wedding. Or what is the best way to let family know what’s happening of not inviting them without hurting too many feelings?
And if anyone who has had/or is planning an intimate wedding, what has/is your experience?
