Q. My fiancé and I are having a very small wedding with only our immediate families present. How do we announce our wedding to extended family members without upsetting them that they weren’t invited?
A. First of all, there’s no need to mail a formal wedding announcement until after you’re married. To best avoid hurt feelings, I would suggest that you and your fiancé and both sets of parents speak with extended family members beforehand (divvy up the phone calls) so that aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. are fully aware of your wedding plans and not expecting invitations. They may be disappointed but will ultimately respect your wishes and appreciate the heads up.
