We love you, friends!
Friends,
We are very sorry. Upon making the original list for invites, Princess Swank and I were surprised to find 242 people we loved and their families on the list. We've been repeating the motto that we'd rather be surrounded by people we love in a less-good setting than be in the perfect place with only a few friends...but 242? I had no idea we were so popular. A reception in a Fotomat booth catered by Taco Bell would be, well, less desirable, even with all the people we love there. So we had to cut. Ruthlessly. Between 70 and 90 people. All of whom we love. And for that, we are sorry.
I mean, it's our wedding--it's not like you'd get to see us anyway.
But it was still nothing short of devastating to do.

This is always the most difficult subroutine in the Nuptual Process. Don't worry, folks always understand.

An acquaintance of mine recently married. His mother-in-law-to-be was very ill and would be unable to attend the wedding. They made arrangments to web-cast the ceremony so she could watch it from her hospital room.
I know it would sound kinda weird to say, "We can't afford to invite you to our wedding, but you can watch it online." But maybe you can come up with some way to tastefully involve others in an untraditional way.
