I posted a topic earlier'I so need to vent' regarding our guest list and I think my FH and I were able to come to an agreement to make everyone happy. I think what it came down to was the lack of my family coming to our wedding (just my father) and because of that I think FMIL ran with it and invited almost her entire family. My concern was I did not want to feel a guest at my own wedding and unfair for both my FH and I to have to cut down on our list. We worked with numbers and gave FMIL, FH and myself a basic number to work with. Now the FMIL has total control of what family members she can invite. Although we may have to cut our list down some we are all working with the same number and I think we have come to a happy medium. Thank God that is finally over!!!!!!! Lol I hope I made sense with what I wrote.

Re: Finally we reached a happy medium :D
Didn't see your venting post, but I'm happy you figured it out. Guest list is driving me crazy, too! Luckily the ILs didn't invite as many people as I thought they would, but I want to keep it at a reasonable size and it is so hard to cut down when we both have big families. Having trouble trying to figure out where to draw the line with friends, of course I want everyone there, and there are also some people I feel like I have to invite or else they'll be super offended! Can't please everyone I guess!

Finally we reached a happy medium :D - Long Island Weddings
Truthfully, I found this to be the hardest of the entire wedding planning. It was harder for my FMIL to decide of what family to invite and difficult for me to cut back on my friends's list. Never would have thought I would have cut back on people that I thought would have always been there but have been totally not existing during my whole process let a lone a congratulations. Things happen for a reason and I am just so blessed to be marrying int a wonderful family and surround myself with people who are genuinely happy for the both of us.
