yes i would. just remember that even though this is your wedding its all for the well being of your mom. if it would make her feel more comfortable i would. just remember all the sacrafices she made for you. beside its about your family. you,your husband and both of your guys' parents.

Here's a suggestion: the local veterans' post may be available to rent, and the charges are usually very reasonable. I'm Post Commander down at the local American Legion post - we have a building with two rooms, one of which can accomodate a hundred seated guests and one that can accomodate nearly three times that many. We usually charge $150 for the smaller room for four hours at a time. You come decorate it as you wish, you do the cooking and all, and you clean up after yourselves. There's plenty of parking. So give that a thought - you may be able to afford a much nicer reception than you originally thought. If there's no veterans' post close enough for you, you might also check to see whether you can rent the local fire house - here in the mid-Atlantic states, most volunteer fire crews do exactly that: they'll move their heavy equipment outside and set up folding tables and chairs for your gathering, inside and under a roof with heat - and do it for the same amount the veterans' post would...

Yes, you need to limit - you really can't send out invitations to the wedding and only ask certain people to come to the reception.
I think if people know the situation about your mom, and the extenuating circumstances, and they would be more understanding. I would only invite, by invitation, those that are invited to both the wedding ceremony and the reception. If you want others at the wedding, I think word of mouth would be better, that way you can explain the situation, and let them know that while you would love to share the day with them you are extremely limited to the number you can invite. Now, I wouldn't expect gifts from those that attend the ceremony only, they may give, but I wouldn't expect.
Congratulations of your wedding.

sry i just want to help u and answer ur question so here goes... if u dont send reception invites or talk about the reception exept to only family and VERY VERY close friends then other people probly wont ask and if they do just say that u had some technical difficaltys so u r had someproblems with it and the receptions destination was to small so it is limited so only family can come with the exeption to brides maids and w/e u call the guys for the groom. and if thats still to big just work it down until ok and then no one will feel bad unless its mabey for u since it is so small.

what if you had just a small private gathering after the ceromony on the 7th? Then continue with your big reception on the 9th. Or better yet, ask your mom what she would like. Let her know your main concern is for her comfort, and give her the options, but be careful to explain that if she attends the bigger party, you won't be able to see to her needs , and that concerns you.

Then have 2 receptions. With the other one a day or week later. Its not selfish at all. You should have a quiet & family oriented one considering your mothers health. But then again, you should ask her, what she thinks. Since you are looking out for her, ask her input. She may say do the big bang kind, so she can enjoy it all! You say shes sick, so perhaps she may want to be there for the big thing!

Why are you asking this in the pregnancy section?
Invite who you want and if someone says something later explain to them about your mother
