Hey everyone! My fiancé and I are both from very large families, but we purposely chose a venue that only seats 100 people.


So this means we either can only invite our family or only invite some family and invite our friends. And our parents expect us to invite people that we haven’t seen in years or don’t care for.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how I can explain to people that they aren’t invited?tenor.gif

    Make your guest list the way you want to and if anyone asks about it, just say we only have room for 100 guests and leave it at that. They will get an invite if they were chosen lol. I wouldn't share any more information than that.

    We are having a smaller wedding also, 90 guest total. I tell people “immediate family and close friends”. Which is true

    I agree with pp. I am the oldest of 8. half of my siblings have significant others and kids. Mine alone is 18 people. We are paying for everything, so no one has said anything. Except his aunt. I'm real close of not inviting her lol. But as long as you two pay, no one can say anything.

    Why did you choose a venue before you worked out your guest list?

    It is not an option in my family not to invite everyone. People would be so offended.

    Our venue and size limit was one of my “must haves”


    It’s likely going to be the same way in our family. Someone is going to probably get hurt. Hence why I’m trying to find a polite way of telling them.
