I got married on Saturday. If I make a social media post announcement and then explain some of the reasoning behind having a small wedding, is it tacky/disrespectful?

Also, how do you go about addressing any possibly hurt feelings? I feel like I shouldn’t have to explain myself but at the same time I don’t know what’s the best way to go about it.I never proactively reached out to all the family members or friends that were NOT invited to the wedding. I’ve never had anybody ask me why they weren’t invited.I just want people to know that it wasn’t because I don’t love them or anything like that. Weddings are expensive (esp the way we went about it). But it was really about keeping things intimate. We wanted to spend time with each of our guests and we wanted to make sure COVID was less likely to fuck with our plans.In the early stages of wedding planning I probably told more people than I should’ve that they’d be invited. But then they’re people I never actually talk with or hang out with. It was just a way of sharing my excitement and intention. If we did have a big wedding, they absolutely would’ve been invited.I have a strong feeling a cousin or two, or maybe more, are upset that they weren’t invited. But if I invited all of them, I would’ve outnumbered my fiancés family even more! For context, he had 4 family members and I had 36. Our entire wedding was 64 people. via /r/weddingplanning https://ift.tt/3GkXTiL
