Dedicated April 2017

95 days and counting...

Tee&Jay, on January 9, 2017 at 12:47 PM Posted in Planning 0 3

Hello all..FH and myself are literally just 95 days out from saying "I Do" and I must say this has been a struggle. Were paying for this wedding ourselves including everything else that come with it. My main concern now is this ever growing guest list of people coming out of all areas to invite themselves to our wedding. We orinally planned on no more then 60 people but that has grown to about 80-85 and im so over it because most of it is his family, family he doesn't even see or speak to. I have the slightest idea what to do because I don't want to be super rude and tell them No, but they feel if their sibling is invited (family member he functions with) then they should be invited. I'm over them thinking they are a package deal and this includes kids which are not invited at all. Urg what am I to do? Anyways I cant wait to get done with spending money so I can finally be in the moment of excitement that we're getting married.

    Hi @Tee&Jay! Have you sent save the dates or wedding invitations to anyone yet? If so they need to stay on the invite list, but if they have not been invited in anyway then they don't get to invite themselves Smiley smile

    If they ask you point blank in person, stick to your guns! "Due to (venue capacity or budget or both), we are unable to invite everyone to our wedding"

    I completely agree with @wwlynnie. I'd also suggest stating and/or reiterating that the reception is invitation only and no kids. Let the family know they can come to ceremony but the receptuon won't allow for it. But more importantly decide now how many plus 1,2,3s you're allowing invited guests to bring. Set up now that the invited ones can have only plus however many you set to avoid people including crazy numbers. This also should be addressed and agreed on between you and your FH so that you're a united front to avoid discrepancy. Also remember it's your day so you guys don't have too accommodate.
