My fiance and I are getting married in Nov. this year. We sent out the Save The Dates to 60+ family and friends, originally planning on having upto 100 guests, assuming everyone brings spouse/children.
Lately, we have been discussing the possibility of downsizing our wedding and just having very close family attend, 25 to 35 guests at most. The main reason we started discussing this is because my parent has recently been diagnosed with dementia and can't really tolerate large crowds anymore.
Planning the wedding while grieving has become difficult and the idea of an intimate ceremony is sounding more and more appealing, but the biggest thing I worry about is how people might feel not receiving an invite after a save the date, I don't want to be rude or hurtful to anyone, but we're also keeping the diagnosis private right now.. so I can't exactly explain to everyone why the change of plans.
Will it be bad of us to just not send the invitations? Or is there a better way of handling it?
