I think we finally were able to come to an agreement.....

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.

You have no idea!!!! I just felt that my FH and I were doing all the compromising and appeasing everyone and we are the ones getting married. It was not fair to us and I am just happy we were able to meet in the middle. So doing the happy dance right now. :)

Sounds like a great decision! I also mentioned to FH how I also did not want to be a guest at my own wedding because I don't have a large family. I'm glad you were able to figure it out!

That is why I particularly booked the smaller room at the venue. When it was coming down to numbers I was inviting 18% of our guests and I am the bride. She was inviting 70 members of the family and I felt she was trying to overcompensate for the lack of family on my side and adding more of FMIL family and that was just not sitting well with me. She may see it as more friends than family attending but my guests are my family. We can agree to disagree but I refused to be a guest at my wedding and my FH and I were on the same page in regards to that.
