Guest list headache

Anyone else having just a hell of a time cutting down their guest list? I'm at 206 now, and really trying to get to 150 before we send STDs in November. I'm an extrovert with a large family, and if we had unlimited space and budget, the list would probably be more like 500. I guess I should clarify...

Anyone else having just a hell of a time cutting down their guest list? I'm at 206 now, and really trying to get to 150 before we send STDs in November. I'm an extrovert with a large family, and if we had unlimited space and budget, the list would probably be more like 500.

I guess I should clarify that every single person on my list is getting a plus one, so the number is slightly inflated with strangers. But I just can't get behind cutting people's plus ones. Won't do it. So now I just have to make some hard choices, and I wonder if it keeps any of you awake at night as well. It's 100% the worst part about planning for me.

Anyone else? Or anyone want to chime in with how you successfully navigated this part?

    Yes, this has been really hard. Every time I cut someone from the list, we add two more. Just family alone is 130, and we're not inviting kids. I had gotten it down to 145 at one point, but now we're back up to 160 :-/

    This is the most stressful part of wedding planning for me. I'm paying for my wedding and my parents wants me to invite ppl I haven't seen or heard from in ages so it's really tough. My list was 170 at one point i just recently cut it down to 114 and that's not including my fiancé's 40 guest.
