My wedding is about 78 people total, nothing too crazy big. Our bridal party is throwing us a couple's shower (and we are really excited!).
How do we choose who to invite? We don't want it to feel like 2 weddings in a row if we invited all- that's just way too much to ask of our bridal party, and we do not expect that!
We were hoping to get the number down in half, about 40 at most. We are having no kids, and we thinking of no cousins being invited. Even with eliminating these people from the guest list, we are still at 45 guests. We are kind of expecting only a few people to decline due to being out of town or just simply being busy- not many would be offended by being invited to a Jack & Jill (I've heard this is a reason why people can decline an invitation).
I personally feel like that's a high number- OR AM I WRONG AND THIS NUMBER IS OK to ask the BP to host?
Our bridal party is 2 men and 2 women who are all working together on building this so it's equal.
Advice is greatly appreciated!
