invite question

so, FH and i were going through our invite list. we are looking to have a small and intimate wedding and we don't want over 150 people. how can we cut people back without offending parents or family? TIA!

Re: invite question

FH and I set certain guidelines when creating our guest list.

1. No kids
2. Only iniviting family up to first cousins
3. If we haven't spoken to someone in 1 year, he/she is not invited.

See if you can set limitations that work for you and try your best to stick to them. Good luck!

We are only having about 100 and we:

1. are not inviting everyone with guest unless they are in a serious relationship

2. not inviting work people

3. not inviting parents friends

4. sticking to just immediate family...no second cousins, great aunts that sort of thing

We did the same thing. Only very good friends only first cousins over the age of 17 & no children. No work related people at all! We have huge families so we needed to set limits & its your wedding so you can do as you wish!
