Big Family!

Hi all!


I’d really love some advice. As of now, our 12/5/20 wedding is still a go! We’ve got about 100 people invited and our venue can hold ~160 roughly. Just as a precaution, my FH and I sat down to make a list that had about 50 people on it, which I guess doesn’t seem too bad, but there’s only one problem: My immediate family consists of 30 people. I have over 15 first cousins and my mom was one of five. My FH is from the seacoast of New Hampshire, so he’s only having his parents, brother, and grandma fly in (his dad is one of eight; if we invited the whole family- his dad’s brothers and sisters and their kids [they each have 3-4 kids and some of them are married], we’d have like 50 more people), and we each have five people standing up with us.Long story short, we are stumped. Is anyone else having this problem?? Our venue hasn’t given us any reason to worry about it and I know statistically that only like 75-80% of people you invite attend, but we’re nearing 100 days to go, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t getting nervous. We’re going to get married on the 5th no matter what. We’ve been engaged for nearly two years and we’re ready to be husband and wife. Is it wrong to still want a celebration with the people closest to us? Is anyone else feeling guilty?
