All of my family (apart from a cousin) are very indifferent/ambivalent about our wedding. The original date is for April next year hoping that all travel restrictions will be lifted etc. (All my family lives abroad). They haven't been interested at all (haven't asked anything about it whatsoever since we've told them about it, and when we told them we didn't even get a congratulations or "so happy for you"). I'm fairly hurt (his family has had a similar reaction but at least they're in the UK) so now I'm thinking of just moving it forward to ASAP. It's a small thing anyways (registry office then restaurant meal). So AIBU?

I agree that it sounds complicated, but I think it's poor form to invite people to a wedding and then univite them, so I'd probably just make an excuse and blame it on coronavirus and do the smaller wedding you want without them. Say they are all welcome to come and visit your baby when things settle down a bit with corona.

To be honest, April feels so far away I would struggle to get up any excitement either. I find it hard to be excited by weddings anyway.
But obviously you are hurt by it, so YANBU.

I wouldn't uninvite them I simply would do it whenever it suits everyone. We've already told his family so maybe best to keep that date but not move everything to suit my family.
