Hi I've made a big mistake with inviting family to our epolement. Initially we just invited 2 witnesses they are family members but they live in the location of the wedding approx 5 hours away, the rest of the family live locally to us. After thinking about it we then invited our parents I explained the situation and all parents were ok with it, fast forward to now there has been major fall outs over our witnesses attending from one other family member and it's now spilled over to one set of parents they have decided they cannot attend because the witnesses have no entitlement to be there in their opinion. The thing is I can see their POV but it really isn't a family wedding we were planning on doing a party when we got back for everyone to attend. The wedding venue is really small and we can't invite everyone so either way we are going to piss people off. We've spoken to other family members on both sides to get their feelings on it and they have said to keep it how it is they can't see the issue but we really don't want this to cause a bigger rift, It's pretty bad already. I actually wish we had kept it to just the witnesses obviously I can't go back in time but how would you try to resolve this? Any ideas?
