Hi everyone!
I need some advice on how to share with all my friends/ family and my fiance's friends/family who are not going to be invited to the wedding. We are having a really small, intimate wedding in Lake Tahoe at the beginning of next year. We've been engaged for about 1 month and since we are having a semi-short engagement I have hit the ground running with wedding planning. ( I'm a big planner 
) We already have our guest list finalized and it is a total of 14 guests. My guest list consists of my immediate family and my grandparents ( who i got guilt-ed into inviting) and my fiance's guest list is his daughter, his dad & dad's GF and his best man & best mans family.
This will be both our 2nd time getting married. We don't want a large wedding and 14 guests is already pushing it. We are trying to keep the budget tight. We are paying for it ourselves. Plus, since it is both our 2nd time and we are practical people- can't justify spending so much money on one day.
Anyway, for everyone else, how do I share the news that they will not be invited? I don't live near any of my family, we live close to his family. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by not inviting them and I'm wondering if we should announce possibly via social media (since I'm not physically close to my family) that we are having immediate family only. OR should we just let it be? I just don't want people expecting an invitation and get offended when they don't receive one.
We both have very large extended families and they are both very.... dramatic, to say the least.
I'm completely at a loss! Any advice would be much appreciated!
