My fiance has a very big family but we didn't want all of them attending the wedding. We both agree that feeding a whole bunch of people we only see on holidays (if that) wasn't going to work for us. So to cut out a lot of fat we have opted for a destination wedding. Las Vegas being his choice and my current nightmare (finding a venue and package is HELL when you don't like Chapels/not-religious).
I am still unsure of the EXACT number of people who will be coming - We have a definate 9 and 5 more are in the wind. The people giving us the run around are his brother and SIL with their kids, family issues makes us not want them there anyway and we have just asked them if they are coming or not to be polite. The other problem people are his grandmother and an aunt who are insisting we get married at a vanue in GA since it is closer for them. It's even been hinted at for us to pay their airfare/etc which I can tell makes my fiance feel bad.
So my question is this, with such a small amount of people actually attending is it really worth paying for invitations to be made and sent out?
Since his parents, grandparents on his moms side and uncle will be in Vegas that weekend anyway AND my uncle and his wife will be on vaction fro England to San Francisco celebrating their own wedding anniversary they have said they will catch a quick flight up for the day.
What to do?
