Should I send an invitation?

So I am getting married in Alberta, but my whole family is in New Brunswick. When I visited this past summer, I gave them all save the dates so if they wanted to come, they had over a year's notice to save up (because we all know how expensive flying within canada is). Any family members I didn't get to see, I left their save the dates with my parents and had them give them out. A lot of the family members that received a save the date have told my parents that they don't plan on coming. So my question is, should I still send all of those people official invitations? Or should I accept that what they've told my parents is accurate?

    We included our wedding website information on our save the date cards and my future New Brunswick family that know they will not be attending our wedding have already gone to the site and RSVP'd no. We will likely still send an invitation to my future mother in law as a keep sake (and who knows, maybe she will change her mind and attend).

    I would still sent the invites out. Things could change, plus you don't any miscommunication from your parents.

    I agree with everyone who has said to send an invitation! It's not just only since there's no miscommunication if they officially RSVP "no", but it's also the thought that counts.

    Definitely still and invites. Lots can change in that time, but it's also important to have people respond to you, so you know there can be no miscommunication about it!

    Yes you still send them an invitation. If you gave them a save the date. it is proper etiquette to send an invitation.

    and while they may say no now. you never know what can happen.

    I agree with the others! The formality is nice and who knows! Things can change and maybe they will be able to make it!

    I agree with Tori - and even if they are unable to make it, I'm sure they'd still be happy to know you'd like to have them there.

    I would still send them out - lots of things could have changed financially with them as well I would hate to assume that they are a no and come to find out that they are upset they didn't get invited or that they could have come.
