First, I would like to point out that I am in the VERY early stages of planning, and have only been engaged for a month.
We made a guest list up just to get an idea of how much money we would need to save up as well as an idea for venue sizes. I come from a larger family, but my FH does not have a very close family and due to being in and out of foster care growing up. He has a total of 6 people that he wants at the wedding since he didn't really have many ties to family or friends from moving around. Obviously, I feel like this wedding will be like 98% full of my family, and there are just some people I don't want to invite for various reasons. Is it normal to feel bad about not inviting people? I've been on the opposite end of the invitation and have been one of the people on the chopping block of guest lists, so I guess I just don't want someone to feel the same way I did. Now that I am planning, I see why I may have been cut from some of their lists.
