IDK... I sent out invitations to my wedding to my mom's cousins. I haven't seen most of them in a very long time, but I think it'd be awesome if my wedding were the event that brought the family together, so I invited everyone I could, and it wasn't to get gifts, and I very much hope they don't see it as a ploy for gifts !
It's like a catch 22, if you dont' invite the world people are hurt if they are left out, if you invite them and they are surprised, then you're searching for gifts ? IDK I'd try to give people the benefit of the doubt that they are just trying to keep you in the loop and not being greedy gift hunters.
