My fiancé and have been going back and forth on who to invite to our Destination Wedding, which will be next June.
My fiancé is Canadian, and I am an American. He sent a heads up to his family a while ago to ask who would be able to come down to the States for the wedding and gave them a date. Most of them said it is very unlikely that they will make it.
So, we decided to move our wedding to Myrtle Beach, about 12 hours from my hometown to get away from my family and because I love it there. We said we were going to only invite our close friends, parents, siblings, and grandparents.
But now, I am feeling bad about not inviting my aunts, uncles, and cousins. Because in all honesty, I want my family there. However, I don’t want to have my 40 or so relatives, and 10 or less of his, because we both feel that it would be awkward.
I want to know what you all think of this situation and what you you would do or what you have done in this situation.
We are not paying for the wedding, fyi.
Btw, the wedding will be on the beach, and we probably won’t be having a traditional reception – probably just all going out to supper somewhere.
We plan on having a reception at my home for the people who can’t make it (if we keep it small), and having a reception for his family up in Canada, if we can get his whole family together… they don’t all live very close to one another.
