Yes, my third cousins would drive from NY or NJ to CT to attend the chupah and luncheon if they were invited. They know me well, they know my wife slightly, they have never met my daughter. They know me well because I am on the family cemetery committee and have attended quarterly meetings in NY for more than 50 years.
I would be more than happy to entertain them in NY in the evening at a time when I can spend substantial time enjoying time with my guests. From experience with older children’s chasunot, my time was occupied with Tisch, Contracts, Photographer, etc. At night all I have to do is get in/out of the limo, make a short speech and write a large check. My wife would also be under far less pressure.
