We have half n half. Some we HAVE to invite are being invited, and there are others that well quite frankly we dont want there and that wont be there. Basically my OH is close with 2 out of his 8 first cousins and due to numbers we cant physically invite them all for 'the sake of it' anyway. Dont think any feelings are going to get hurt but at the end of the day we have max 55 for the day and if we were to invite everyone we SHOULD invite there'd be noone there we actually wanted!!! There are limits & you need to find yours unfortunately. worst case, invite them to the evening, and just say you have a certain limit to the day... They should be grateful and understanding under the circumstances & be happy and honoured to be invited to any of it! x

I'm not intending to have a large gathering, even though I know it will upset many whose weddings I've been to, relatives I FB to, etc etc. However, I don't have the budget to be able to include them, and don't see most of them, so keeping it small and simple to suit us. After all, it's OUR day, and OUR choices apply. I'm the black sheep of the family, so can probably get away with it :)
yeah im getting like that being well why pay for extras. the guest list is getting bigger and bigger and the budget is getting smaller, theres 2 brothers i rarely speak to, then partners its 4 extra to pay for. i dont like the partners for a start, miserable moo! then they come to family things eat the free food and drink then go. i want people who love me amd my OH and want to be there, be there.
urgh hard situation and annoying!!!! x

We invited close friends and family to our wedding - some of those we dont talk to regularly but only because life doesnt permit it!
We invited others such as cousins etc to the night do.
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!

Most of our family we have seen in the past year. My aunty had the balls to complain that I hadn't invited some cousins I had never met and didn't even know existed, yet I wasn't even invited to her son's (my cousin) wedding last year. We refused to invite any family that we haven't had some contact with over the past few years. At £90 a head, we just couldn't afford it!

I got forced into inviting people I didnt want there too.In the end,those people didnt even bother to send back an rsvp or acknowledge the invite! Suits me tho as we have 80 and meant we could invite people we did want!
CommentAuthorAmyP7
I was forced to invite a lot of family that I don't see or some of h2bs family I've never met. I now feel resentment and thinking about how much money we could have saved. I would put your foot down x x
