WIBTAH for my wedding choice?

My fiance (39M) and I (34F) have been together for 15 years. We got engaged in 2019, but were never in a rush to get married. We both agreed that if we considered kids, we'd get married. We're considering them now, so it's time. Here's where I might be the AH:

We want to get married this summer at a courthouse in our home country. We haven't told our families really because we want something quiet and just about us. We're both somewhat introverted, we don't want a big hullabaloo, and we're wanting to save money (and weddings are expensive). Plus, our families are scattered all over and hard to get together in one place. There is also some tension with certain people who would just have to be invited if we had a wedding. We just want to get some photos done (like an elopement) and send them to those we love, like a fun surprise. Some of my family has voiced that they would be crushed to not be present when we get married and it makes me feel like a jerk for not including them. I love them, but if I invite them, I have to invite everybody, including family members I don't necessarily want there. Any advice?

TLDR: WIBTAH for just getting a courthouse wedding and inviting/telling no one? Just sending some nice photos and a "We tied the knot" announcement by mail?

Edit to add a sentence.
