So here is the problem we're facing with our guest list: I am much, much closer to my father's side of the family because I was raised around them, did things and went to family functions with them so I have no hesitation inviting them (there's also not many of them). My mother's side however is almost the exact opposite; most of them don't speak to me and we only see each other at other functions like funerals and things like that, and even then most aren't there. They also make me feel unwelcome whenever I'm around them, but there's one or two aunts/uncles and a couple cousins that were around a good amount growing up or are at least FB friends. Who is it ok to not invite and who should definitely be invited? I feel like I can't invite some and not the other, but at the same time I don't want to invite people who don't seem to be interested in speaking or doing things anyways.
**Other issue: how do you invite parts of a "circle", like if I'm close to a cousin but not their parents or vice-versa?
