Guests list

Can you just give everyone an equal amount? My friend had 150 guests, her fiance had 150 and both parents had 150 each too bringing their total to 600

You could give even amounts as PP suggested. Another option is to try to cut what type of family (like maybe not inviting 3rd cousins or whatever).

You and FH choose first. If you and husband to be have 200 on your list then the 120 people can be divided among the parents. Your list gets priority and majority.

Sounds like plenty to me. It also sounds fair.

I think it depends on if 120 ppl is enough for your family & friends that you & FH wants to invite? If it’s enough great. If it isn’t enough I would make my & FH list & then deduct the amount from the sum amount ($320) and whatever the difference is I would divide it between his dad & his mom for their guests. Good luck w/ planning

I think 120 guests for one person is plenty. Weddings aren't about everything being fair or equal. They also aren't about inviting every single family member you have. Not everyone needs to attend your wedding. If you decide to invite every family member you have, and your side is less than 120 people, you shouldn't ask your FH not to invite some of his family just because yours isn't as big.

I would start with you two making a list of the people you absolutely want there. After that branch out to some extended family. Are the large families including children of everyone or like 2nd and 3rd cousins? If so, I would start by cutting the kids off the list to save money. You also don’t need to invite the entire 320 that tour venue allows. Ours holds somewhere between 300-500 and I don’t even want half that number there.
