In our weekly Wedding Planner Q&A we look at how to deal with common anxieties, questions and problems that often crop up when you’re planning a wedding. Today I’m offering advice on how to deal with distant relatives who expect to be invited to your big day.
I have lots of aunts, uncles and cousins but we don’t really keep in touch and I haven’t seen them for several years. However, since they heard I was getting married they’ve called to say how much they’re looking forward to the wedding. I don’t really want them there as I feel I barely know them – how can I tell them they’re not invited without causing a family rift?
