And thаt іf thеу want tο attend thеу hаνе tο pay tο come tο Europe wіth υѕ? Wе hаd originally рlаnnеd tο dο a wedding іn ουr hometown аnd thеn јυѕt recently dесіdеd thаt wе wеrе going tο gеt married іn Europe. Hοw dο I politely tеll thеm thеу саn come іf thеу want, bυt wе саn’t afford tο pay fοr thеm аll?
Wе hаd already рlаnnеd a honeymoon іn Europe. Jυѕt want tο dο thе ceremony thеrе аnd nοt dο one here.

I guess I would tell them what you decided…tell them tere is no obligation for them to come, but if they felt they could, then you would love them to still be in the wedding….
good luck!
What a rude and selfish decision.
I would call or e-mail each,because if you just recently decided,,,they may not have enough time to change schedules,get their passports,tickets,rooms,etc…Ask them each if they will or can attend.If the majority of the party is in the states…you are putting them in quite a bind…you may end up with just the 2 of you @ your wedding. Why not marry here,and honeymoon in Europe?
and you don’t tell anyone they can come if they want,but we can’t afford to pay.
You tell them they are still invited at their own expense. We are a new family just starting out,and do not have the funds. They might wonder how you have the funds to have a wedding in Europe?
“We absolutely understand if this means you won’t be able to come due to time or monetary constraints” is the polite way to phrase it. If I were you, I’d be more worried about explaining the reasoning behind the sudden change; people are less likely to be concerned about the money than why you’re making it more difficult to attend in general.
