[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why the couple is doing verbal invites and emailing to others. I could understand savings money by not mailing them to close family, but why not send everyone the email? It would make me assume I am not invited.[/quote]

DH and I hang out with several families regularly and they are planning their summer vacations around this wedding and that is why they are asking us details of this wedding. If they are flying to this country, they want to make vacations out of it.

There are probably some family members and obligatory guests they don’t really want but by not sharing details makes it awkward for family. [/quote]

I'm beginning to see why this couple is choosing a destination wedding and keeping the invited list small. You said "he" in another message so you are on the groom's side.  It isn't normal to invite your parents' best friends to your destination wedding. And if there is bad blood with the groom's dad then I can see why this couple is doing it far far away to avoid all this mess. You seem offended that this couple wants a very small, intimate wedding. Who is paying for this wedding?[/quote]

I’m not necessarily offended. Many people are mad at the couple. Some are annoyed. Some are confused.

The family is a mess with divorce, second marriages, stepchildren, lots of bad blood within extended family. Maybe they won’t get invited. It would be pretty bad if the dad and mom are not invited to their own child’s wedding.[/quote]

Well, what did the dad do to not get invited? Why not back the story up a bit so we can decide if it's bad or not?[/quote]

I didn’t say the dad wasn’t invited. He didn’t get a save the date.

The dad left the mom and the kids. And now has a whole other family.[/quote]
