I have looked thru a lot of the discussions on invited and uninvited guests, but I wanted to ask about wording on our invites.
We are getting married in an old Victorian house - 50 is the absolute max that can be seated. Yet, I'm already hearing (through my Mom) Aunt so and so wants to bring her granddaughter. Aunt Yada said something about bringing LaLa... and such.
I have a lot of cousins and would love to invite all of them but space will not allow this, and we are paying for this ourselves.
So, how do I put on the RSVP cards or in the invitation envelope a statement that tactfully states: you and you alone - you and your wife/husband are all that are invited.
I was thinking maybe:
"We regret that due to the capacity restrictions at 'venue' ..." and that is where I lose my wording.
We are having parties for our engagement and many of these people will be invited to those, so we can share the fun...
Help!!
