AITA for telling my family I'm sorry they feel like my wedding is a burden on them?

Got engaged 2 months ago. Family knows, no official invite sent yet (official invites won't come until next year) but they have obviously been made aware of our plans. We're also considering having our wedding abroad, which is where we both live (in Asia), and have only said that we would give them 6 months notice to plan their trip (in case anyone wants to come, not forcing them), and asked if they'll be able to come. <br><br>They have always said that they would definitely come, that they want to see me get married.<br><br>This week we had a meeting with our wedding planner, and one of the things she's discussed with us is the guest list. We're going for a relatively small wedding, below 100 people, so obviously we need to know how many of my family members are coming so we know how many invites we can give to friends. <br><br>Family is a bit upset that I'm no longer willing to just wait for them to get their act together. They said they would "never be able to save up for a trip" and I asked if they've started saving yet, they said no. So I told them I'm sorry if they feel like my wedding is such a burden on them. I will send them official invites next year, but if their situation hasn't changed by then, I'll be getting married without them.
