[quote=Anonymous]OP, try to understand that the cost is just one factor.  COVID is likely to still be an issue for large gatherings even in May 2022.  And a big guest list limits their options for venues and makes everything more complicated to plan.  And if your son and his fiancee tolerate this from you, then they'll have to give her parents extra invites too and that will make it even bigger, and maybe you'll go on to mess up again and invite more people.  You need to take this lesson to heart and STOP doing anything for the wedding.  Just let them enjoy their engagement without you causing any more stress.

You absolutely can call people and tell them you overstepped.  This is not un-inviting anyone.  Un-inviting is when they are actually invited by the bride and/or groom and then the invitation is rescinded.  This is just you admitting you messed up and if these people are truly your friends they will understand.  Your friends should not consider themselves invited, especially with the wedding more than a year away, until they receive an invitation or at least a verbal invitation, from the engaged couple directly.[/quote]
