0 guests) Las Vegas wedding. My fiancé and I are from Texas, so this will be a destination wedding for everyone. I would prefer to keep to keep the guest list to parents and close friends, but my mom insists I invite her parents (my parents are contributing minimally to the wedding, fiancé and I will foot the majority of the bill). I am very close to my grandparents and would love to have them there, but they do not travel well in their old age. We are imaging an inclusive, extended weekend in Vegas and in my rough planning stages I’m already running into issues with what I want to do and accommodating what my grandparents can do. On top of everything, my mom has started to complain about having to “babysit” my grandparents the entire time. Having my grandparents at the wedding looks like it will add a level of stress that I’m not interested in. Is it wrong to not invite them? And how do you lovingly tell someone they’re too stressful to invite to your wedding?Post content has been hidden
