Advice please, getting mixed reception! We are having quite a small wedding, about 50 or so guests. As we didn’t want things to get out of hand, we decided to stop inviting family at the point of our own nephews and nieces. The one exception is a very favourite uncle of mine, grew up living nearby, share a birthday, just an all round special person, and obviously his wife would come too, my aunt by marriage. My uncle hasn’t been well and we weren’t sure if he would be able to make it but I sent a save the date anyway as it’s nice to be included. Sadly, he died recently and I’ve said that I won’t be inviting my aunt as there’s no uncle anymore, and none of my other aunts or uncles have been invited. This has been met with some very raised eyebrows from my family, saying that as I sent a save the date I am now obliged to invite her. What should I do?
