Iyh I am doing a Bris for my son on Shabbos. What do I do about nonreligious relatives driving to the Bris?
The Bris of course is not to be pushed off or delayed due to this. Practically, you have two options: 1) Invite them to stay for the entire Shabbos which gives them the option to not desecrate Shabbos. If in the end they decide to drive it is not your issue. 2) Have the after circumcision meal take after Shabbos and invite them for that meal, while the Bris itself will take place close to sunset of Shabbos day.
