Come Vote for FH....he's putting this out to all of my LIWedding girls!!!!

Original post by Chrissywish

Although our wedding is still almost 2 years away, lately we have been discussing the RD and who we will invite. The last poll did not have sides, but here is the full story, both sides included.

My Argument:
I think our RD should include the bridal party, grandparents, those in the ceremony, and our OOT guests. I want to include the OOT guests because every wedding I have traveled to I was invited to the RD and would not feel right not inviting these people to mine after they extended the courtesy to me and my family. They are also people I want there. When we went for our food tasting FH's parents asked about the RD and I told them what I was thinking and they were fine with everything. FH's parents figured it would be about 50 people and my aim is to keep it in that ballpark. My OOT guests equal about 15 - 21 people, are all aunts/uncles/godparents, and depending on who will be here and how many people the total number equals we may not invite all the cousins, but just the aunts and uncles.

His Argument:
I think that its to expensive to have almost 70 people at RD It's almost like a mini wedding. If her family aunts and uncles get to go why dont my aunts/ uncles and her aunts and uncles who are local get to come. So i said leave it to bridal party and grandparents thats it. Less expenisve for my dad. Also some of her OOT guest arent related.

FH and I are having the same dilema... of course the bridal party & there huband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend... but I would like to include OOT guests... but I think it is going to be a lot of people for some reason.

Honestly... i wouldn't even continue this conversation. I'd wait another year before having it because so much can change in 2 years.

But to answer your question... i truly think that ONLY the bridal party and IMMEDIATE family members should be invited. Otherwise, yes, it can get out of hand and way too expensive. It's supposed to be an extra thank you to the family and bridal party for being there and taking part in your special day.
