Hello!
So everyone is chipping in for the wedding. My Fh and I are paying 2nd most. My parents are helping out the most. But his parents are divorced. His dad said he has the booze and his mom said she has flowers and cake. I really would like to keep the wedding guest list down as tightly as possible. I said i refused to go over 250. My family is very small. But his moms side is huge...
mom invited: 23, dads side:36, his dad 30? his mom has 65... than we have bridal party and our friends so 230 all together at the moment.... My parents have cut people out that they wanted to invite but dont really know me....,HOWEVER, his mom has the biggest list and barely know the names listed.... I have been with my FH for 11 YEARS! never bet some of these names... She told me this past weekend she didnt invite the other half of the family and i made a comment that she went over the orginal guest list we gave her (40) and that we dont even know most of the names of the list... "Well its a wedding you dont know everyone at your wedding thats how it always works, do you know how many i didnt know at mine and laughed".....
UM. . . is this normal... in my eyes we gave you a number you went over you dont get to keep adding!?!!?!?!?! we are at 230 at the moment and I want to push it down to 200 if possible!!!
-Also im planning my wedding with a $15K budget. With quotes and some things booked im at $17,625. So im not to mad for being to over because yes everyone is helping out but im trying to be a bride on a budget. OPINIONS please!
