How much of your guest list was reserved for your parents/in laws?

How much of your guest list comprised of guests/friends of your parents/in laws?

I think mine was about half!

    Almost all of my guest list is from my parents Smiley ups Like I would probably say at least 70%. Family friends, distant relatives, and all of the above lol.

    None! My husband and I decided on our guests ourselves.

    After FH and I made our list of "must haves," we asked his mom if she would like to invite any of her close friends. We had a bit of room, so she asked for 3 couples that she is close to, and that have known FH for many years. We said fine, because that's only 6 people. FILs are being super great about not interfering with what we want, and letting us do our own thing!

    None! We invited our parents, siblings (and their families), as well as grandparents. My aunt made the list to have some more on my side (all of my siblings are younger, hers are all married with kids - and her sisters kids have families), but that’s pretty much it. Really the only friends we have are in the bridal party.

    Her mom asked to add more, but it was about two weeks from the wedding....they weren’t added to the list

    None. We made our own guest list and haven't been asked to add someone by anyone. That being said, this isn't either of our first wedding and we are paying for it ourselves. We are also older (37 and 52) and our parents have stopped playing those cards in our lives a long time ago. I feel this is very common with younger couples, and I can say at my first wedding (I was 24) that my mother added a handful of guests to the list. While there should be some compromise, it is your wedding and the majority of the guest list should be who you want there.

    None... we asked our parents about people they would like invited but most of those people were already invited because they're like family to us. Smiley smile

    I'd have to go with none because we asked if our parents had any "must haves" that we needed to work in. My side of the family my mom only had one friend that she wanted invited who most likely wont be there. And on FH's side there is a little more, but we don't look at it as his parent's guests because everyone they put on there was an influence in his life.
