We have family members we are close to but know they will not be able to attend the wedding despite their desire to because of a schedule conflict. Do we still send them an invitation?

Of course.
The wedding invitation is something very special, not just to you, but to them as well!

I just got married and I sent out almost 350 wedding invites (we had a big midwestern wedding with lots of family) but about only 250 were able to make it. Everyone else was happy to get the invite and sent on gifts/money. I know invites cost alot but everyone will feel so loved when they know you want them to be with you two on your special day! Good Luck.

Of course you send them an invitation. They will send you a card and wish you well, despite the fact that they can't come. You don't want to upset your family by not sending them an invitation.

Yes. My fiance and I are getting married in 3 weeks. When we sent invitations we KNEW some of the people we were sending them to would not be able to come simply because they live 1000 miles away. But we sent them anyway out of courtesy. Surprisingly several are actually coming.

Yes, that is the proper thing to do. They will still want to be invited even if they aren't able to attend. Many people save wedding invitations because they signify important events in their loved ones lives. You would hurt their feelings if you excluded them even though they are unintentionally excluding themselves.

Yes! Its not so much as an invite as it is that you are thinking about them during a special time in your life. They would probably be honored that you even took the time to invite them.

I agree as well.....send them an invitation even if you know they can't attend. For my wedding, I sent invitations to people I knew couldn't attend and alot of them do like to keep it as a keepsake. It's also nice for them to have your return address and soon-to-be husband's name in case they wanted to send a wedding gift.
Congratulations!

Of course, send the invite. It makes a wonderful keepsake for them and who knows, they just might be able to make it after all.

My husband's mom wanted to send all kinds of invitations to out of town relatives who "weren't going to come anyway" (we're talking in excess of 100). Our reception hall held 300. In the interest of not risking everyone showing up, we didn't. We offered to order special announcements for that crowd, but she wanted no part of that.

Of course! They may surprise you and come anyway. Or they may want an invitation for a souvenir.
If you don't send one, they may feel hurt.
