Hi everyone,
I am in dire need of some advice! My future mother-in-law wants my fiance and I to send letters (basically apologizing, I think?) to the relatives/friends who will not be invited to our wedding or reception and to extend an invitation to an open house at a later date that she and my father-in-law will be hosting. While I would love to invite everyone to our wedding, it is not financially possible (student loan debt, my fiance and I are also paying for 95% of the wedding) and this seemed like a good compromise. How can we (tactfully) go about honoring the request of my in-laws??
