So for the past few years, my mom's siblings have gotten their visa's approved and have been staying with us. Some family comes and go but I have an uncle who has been staying with us for the past few months now. I do not know what his plans are as far as what he plan on doing when his wife (my aunt) comes back to the States.
I told my mom, during the week of the wedding, I would really like no one home besides the parents, brother, his gf and no one else. I thought this way was best since it would lessen stress on us by not having to cater to other peoples needs, give space to all of us at a high-stress time and also, that our clothes, jewelry etc does not get lost or misplaced (which would make me furious). I do not want to seem rude by asking people to stay in another place (i.e., hotel, a family friend, etc).
Is that too much to ask? My mom isn't saying no and is agreeing with me but since we will have family coming in a month to the week before the wedding and staying with us at home, I do not want them feel like we (or I) am kicking them out; I just want my space since I won't have it for a while. It is also a way for me to have the last week with just my family (immediate) before I am married.
