The only catch is we can only invite four people. We plan on having lunch at a restaurant nearby to invite those who can make it since it is short notice and on a weekday. My issue is his grandparents. They are up in age and his grandfather is very sickly and on an oxygen machine. He can't walk very far and is weak a lot of the time. I want them to be at least at the restaurant to see us on our "wedding day" but I fear it will be too much of a hassle to ask them to drive way across town and see us. His grandfather has scoliosis and needs a special chair to sit down. What can I do to include them on out special day? I wouldn't feel right not inviting them. Should we try to go visit them beforehand. I was thinking since we are postponing the big wedding we could maybe sleep over by the grandparents so they could help us get ready that day. We already planned on heading to the officiants house together so it's not a big deal about us seeing each other. Any advice would be appreciated!

 Have you spoken to your grandparents about this? Get their input! Your grandfather will know whether he can manage a trip across town to a restaurant; his grandfather will know how much trouble it is to accommodate his back problems. In short, they're the best judge of their abilities. They'll be pleased at your consideration in consulting them.
