Help with family plus 1

Happyyellowcakes15704, 15 December, 2020 at 21:24 Posted on Planning 0 2
So we have decided on a small ish wedding. 60 being maximum. We have invited all of his family on his Mum's side as we see them a lot. None on his Dads as we don't see them. My dad has 1 brother who is invited with his wife but my Mum is one of 9 ( now 7). We could just about manage it if we invited her blood relative's to day and invited my auntie and uncles ( their husbands) to evening. I was going to suggest that they could just come to the ceremony if they wanted to and then meet husbands elsewhere for food and come back evening if they didn't want to be away from then till evening. Wedding is at 2 and evening at 7 so only 5 hours where they won't be together.

Can anyone advise? Has anyone done anything similar? Thanks

    Honestly this sounds super complex/ unpractical.
    Personally I think it will be very strange for people leaving to catch up with husbands/wife's between ceremony and evening. I suspect many would either leave after ceremony or not come at all.... unless its super close to their homes. Even then usually married couples you would invite together..... Why don't you just invite the uncles/aunts you are close to with partners? Or increase your numbers by 5 or so to be able to invite all? Also its a bit strange that your dad's brother gets to take his wife but your mums side doesn't. I think you have to be equal to be honest.....
    Otherwise it will seem unfair. Sorry likely not what you want to hear.

    Thanks. Think I posted this in one of my many wedding guest stresses. I have invited them all now as I'm sure we will have declines.
    Just makes it easier. Thanks x
