Our wedding will be at our house in the front and back yards on the family's farm land. We have 3.5 bathrooms but 3 of them are not "guest friendly" meaning they are located in bedrooms. That leaves...

I am planning a wedding and want to limit the guest list to 200 people due to budget. However, coming from an Asian family, I would likely have 200+ people to invite from my side of the family alone,...
