should i invite them or not???

Our guest list is set in stone since our room is small and we don’t have much room to add any more guests. My mom actually wants to cut people out.

I am so confused on if I should invite a particular family to the wedding. My friend Mike (from grammer school) recently got engaged to my friend Christina (from high school). I have not see Mike in a social setting since I was 16 years old. Christina wasn’t a good friend of mine just someone in some of my classes. Mike was always friends with my brother & already asked him to be in his bridal party. I know that they are inviting 300+ people to their wedding & originally I felt obligated to invite them. However inviting them is actually another 6 people. Mike & Christina, mikes sister & her boyfriend & mikes parents. Just because they are having a big wedding & inviting my entire family, including my brothers 3 kids, doesn’t mean that I should have to invite them.

Should I invite them or not??

i dont think you should feel obligated if you aren't that close with them....you can always use the excuse that you are trying to keep your numbers down.
