Well In my opinion you should go ahead and invite them. I understand that you want a small ceremony but it'll still be small especially if your sisters might not go. You are obviously close to them as you have shared your plans with them and I believe you said previously that you haven't announced your engagement. FI must share a bond with them as well since he initially wanted to invite them. As for the other aunt and family uou aren't close to them so they shouldn't really feel any type of way about it. And if they do oh well it's your wedding and your wishes and that they should understand. .

Thanks : )

 

I have to make a decision by the 3rd - we will be seeing them then... at my cousins Wedding (Oy!) HAHAHA

HAhah - Thanks

btw rayn, I say invite your aunt and forget about the rest!

 

Thanks - I will keep all of you posted as to what I end up doing

It can be hard though, I understand, other people may give you some flack but stick to what you feel is right for you guys, it's YOUR wedding.

 

We said only parents and siblings (for family anyway) but we invited one of my FI uncles and his wife. That Uncle is more like his best friend because they're only 3 years apart (yes that means my FI grandmother and mom were pregnant just a few years apart, strange!).  He's going to be a groomsmen and it may not make sense to others that we didn't invite all of his Uncles but that's what felt right to us and I don't regret the decision.

 

Thank You!!!!!

My family is huge and I really only see them on holidays once or twice a year - I am inviting just one aunt just because my mom doesn't speak english and will be bored and lonely being among me, my closest friends and FI's family. This is her closest sister so I figure they can hang out together and keep each other company. I haven't told anyone yet but hoping it goes over well and noone gets offended ...

 

Thank You!!
