So frustrated...
FH & I have HUGE families.
My family is slightly larger than his... my mother is the oldest of EIGHT and my dad is one of SIX.
Of course my entire 'invite list' consists of family. And don't get me wrong, I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE my family and they are a blast to be around and will make the wedding amazing...
My parents are paying for our reception so they really do have a say in who is invited. The thing that frustrates me is that I am going to be 33 years old and out of ALL the friends I've made throughout my lifetime, I can only invite six at this time. Since I have so many cousins and family, I only have a handful of close friends... However, there are so many people I would love to invite but I simply can't. At this point we're up to 225 people (that's including guests...) I know alot of people will probably not be able to come and I have a handful of relatives I know won't bring a date... But I just feel so stressed. My parents want to retire soon so we want to try and keep the actual amount to 170.
