long distance guests - HONESTY NEEDED

Morning Ladies

I have an Aunt that lives in Washington State, who I am inviting to my wedding.  She usually travels to the East Coast once a year, for a visit, but not until June/July (my wedding is in May). I also have a cousin (whom I'm not that close with), living in Oklahoma, with her husband and 4 kids.

I am sending them inviitations, but I really don't want to put them out with the expense of flying to the east coast.  Is it inappropriate to add a little note, telling them that i understand if they can't make the wedding?  I don't want them to think i don't want them there, but i also don't want them to feel obligated to come either (I am not having kids at the wedding, so this could be an issue for my cousin)

Thanks for your Honesty ladies :-)
