Wedding Planning

Tara and I are in the beginning stages of planning the reception/party for our civil union this fall. I am very close to my dad's family (including second and third cousins) and I know they all know about Tara and I and seem very supportive. So I am trying to make a guest list for myself and I took care of that... but my mom's family is a little more tricky. She is estranged from her only brother who has four kids. I talk to two of the kids via Facebook, but I have not seen any of them in years.

We're trying to keep the guest list reasonable, which is very challenging when I have such a huge family. I'm not sure if I should invite my uncle and cousins or not, and so I sent my mom an email this morning asking for advice. She has not replied and I've talked to her via email and phone about other unrelated matters since then.

How long do I wait before moving on in this process and assuming she either has no opinion or is not willing to be a participant in this?
 
Maybe it's the estrangement that is bothering your mom more than the wedding planning aspect. Maybe she doesn't want to be unestranged. Yeah, I know that isn't a word.
 
If it was me I would ask outright. I know things that bother me take time to process and respond to, so something like that, where I had to consider getting back in touch with family I had bad history with would be hard for me to face right away. She may just need a day or three to think it over.

And congratulations!!!!!!!!
