[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I made a mistake and want to correct it. Advice, please.

My son and his fiancée are getting married in May of 2022. They just got engaged. I told a few close couples to save the date and have details about venue, etc. I was excited.

Son and fiancée are now telling me that DH and o can only invite five couples. (All family are already on the guest list.) I told seven couples details. Bride's family is paying. Do I offer to pay for extra people? How do I make this better? I can't u invite anyone. I realize they have not finalized the guest list. I just got excited. [/quote]

OP-- I'm not saying this to be mean, but why on earth would you tell people they are invited to your DS's wedding? it's not your wedding. I understand that you're excited, but that is so overstepping and likely to create a problem with your ILs and DIL. You have to tell the uninvited couples that the wedding is going to be small. I would recommend not saying anything to anyone yet until you have more details about the guest list- your DS and future DIL may change their minds again about size, venue, etc. with covid, they may make it even smaller or elope. Things may be more normal and they might expand the guest list. It's over a year away. [/quote]
