However, considering the destination of this event your absence will be sincerely missed and completely understandable." No, I would probably not include that. That kinda sorta (lol) makes it sound like you do NOT want them to attend. The most I have ever seen on an invitation was, "If you are unable to attend, we ask your presence in thought and in prayer." I think that phrase would be more appropriate.<br><b>References : </b><br> You wrote, "We would love to share this special day with you.

"If you are unable to attend,
we ask your presence in thought and in prayer."
I think that phrase would be more appropriate.

Why not just have an at-home reception like most do who have destination weddings and they are able to invite everyone who wasn't able to attend the ceremony for whatever reason?<br><b>References : </b><br> I wouldn’t include such a thing because it comes across as rude no matter how you say it.

If you have people that you know cannot attend then you send them a seperate note expressing how much you will miss them and that you understand why they are not attending.<br><b>References : </b><br> Just send the invitation with no mention of if the person can attend or not.
