Someone who got our STD already told me they can't come to the wedding because they have a family wedding the same day. Should I still send them an invitation?

Yes! ABsolutely. What if the other function is cancelled or delayed. If they don't get an invite they may assume they're not invited, even though now they can come.

I would still send an invitation. You want them at your wedding and I think people feel honored when they are invited.

Im a doing this for many of my OOT family, i was told that they will feel offended if you dont send them an invite anyway.

most of my relatives can't make it because its kind of a destination wedding, but I sent the invites anyway..I thought it would be rude to just not send them.

I would imagine it's still good etiquette to invite them. I just got an invite from a friend's wedding- and she knows I can't go since I'll be on my HM.
