Other than her parents, did any other relatives of Silvia attend the pre-wedding ball?

I'm absolutely certain that all of her relatives that attended the wedding also attended the ball the night before.

Yes the day before her Wedding as she was then still a german citizen. During that time swedish citizens could not get swedish Orders not even members of the RF. This was only changed before CP Victoria's 18th birthday so she could get the Order on that day.
