We've just recently become engaged. We are planning to get married in Aruba in the spring. Here is my problem, I have 2 grown daughters 27 & 23 that while I know would love to be part of everything would not be able to go to Aruba, both are in University and the 27 yr old is in the middle of her own wedding plans. I'm feeling a little guilty because I do want to just go away and get married so that I am not stepping on my daughters toes trying to make plans for 2 weddings. At the same time I don't want to hurt their feelings. Any Advice?
Thanks

Speak to your daughters honestly. Find out how they feel about all of this. Let them know what plans you want to make and why. If you''re open and upfront with them then it's a good chance that they will return the favor. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I have already talked to them about it and they understand but are just a little disapointed. I guess I'm just worried about doing the right thing. We are not going to extend invites to any other family members. My feeling is, if other family members make the trip it will just make them feel worse.

Perhaps it will make it better by having a nice small party/reception after your wedding at a time when both of them can attend. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
