If family is helping you pay for the wedding (your parents, FHs parents) is that a determining factor if you have gone above and beyond your first intended guest list?
My parents are paying for 2/3 of the wedding. FH's parents ... not so much. So I can absolutely say that my mom and dad have made their own guest lists and we originally were around 125 and now we are at close to 183. So absolutely it has made an impact. If FHs parents were able to make their own lists.. I couldnt even imagine where our number would be..
We are paying for it all ourselves!!!!!!!!!!
My parents are doing the RH and the majors (Video, Pics, Limos, Flowers etc). FH's parents are doing HM, RD.. that kinda stuff. We are gonna do all the xtras no one else thinks about- garter, save the dates, the small touches,
My parents said they would help us pay, but haven't told me a set amount that they will be contributing. FH's parents - looks like we get squat from them. So FH and I are planning a cheap, simple wedding anyway, and since 150 is our minimum, my mom said if her guests go over, she'd take care of the extra cost.
We are paying for all of it. I don't really mind because then no one can really try to dictate what we do or who we invite!
We are paying for all of it, except my grandma helped me with my dress! Things are different than they used to be, way more expensive lol so we understand that we have to pay for it ourselves.
FH’s family offered to pay for our RH which is so awesome bc otherwise I have no idea how we would do it! But it’s also made me feel like we have to keep our list to our minimum (165) and not get some of the bonuses we want. So I think what we’re going to do is just have FH’s family pay the base price for 165 people, and we’re going to pay for whatever extra people and packages we add on.
My parents are paying for it.
We are paying ourselves
We are getting help from our parents and in turn have no problem with who they want to invite.
Yes and No...FH's parents are helping out with the majority of the RH, and we're doing the rest (remaining tiny fraction of RH, all other major vendors). In terms of the guest list, I have maybe 20 people from my side, including friends, and FH has well over 100. Even though his mother is insisting we invite 3rd cousins and children, they probably would have been on guest list even if they weren't paying for the majority. With a big family like that, it really can't be avoided, but now because they are paying I really can't say leave the kiddies home!

We are basically paying for everything ourselves. FH dad wants to invite his work people and neighbors so he is paying for his guests. All vendors and RH and extras we are paying for. My mom bought my dress as a gift.
