My son is getting married in Oct. His father died shortly after my son was born. We have had very little contact with the grandparents. She has visited once and seen her grandson maybe four times as he grew up. I moved 800 miles away after his father's death. If they are invited to the wedding because of age and health problems another son and daug n law will have to bring and be in charge of them. They are difficult people to be around. My son would like for them to be there for the wedding but does not want to put any stress on his uncle and aunt. Do we invite or not?? I know in MOST situations it is not a question of whether or not they should be invited. I think they would be very hurt if they were not invited, but I also think there is a small chance they would not come . She especially sometimes can be disruptive. She has never been able to deal with her loss. What to do???

I have a similiar family situation so I understand. If your son wants his grandparents to be invited then you should probably invite them and allow them to decide if, and how, they would be able to attend. I'm not sure what you mean by disruptive, or to what level this disruption rises to, but perhaps your son can speak to his aunt and uncle to get further guidance.
