Hello everyone!
I am asking for some advice. I am the only daughter of my parents who is paying for the wedding, completely (budget 25000) and my fiancé is the oldest son and first child to his parents to get married. The issue is that the guest list is growing rapidly and we are getting married in a venue that comes with 150 seats and a few tables. so originally we wanted the guest list to be 150 max. but now my parents and his parents are not happy chopping people off of the list. They don’t understand that with adding people comes more chairs, tables, silverware, food, linens, invitations, etc.
I am fine with having a smaller wedding. I have a big family (60 people) so my parents are feeling offended that they can’t invite their friends but my in laws( who have a smaller family) can. My mom especially sees it as “ we are paying for the wedding so our side matters more.” i am just really lost and feeling hurt that this has become such a hard experience.
any advice is welcome 💛
