you know when things seem to be going all too well...

my fmil made her invite list-(they have little family in the USA so it is mostly friends) and it came to 75 people

we made our list and really invited the minimum amount of people... 45

i sent numbers over to my mom and she is upset/mad cause she is saying they can afford to pay for 200 people (215 with the children and also whatever the vendor numbers come to)

we have a big family and my parents are not able to invite many friends that they normally would like to invite.

apparently fmil told my mom she would have between 50-60 people!

We sent out the save the dates already to majority of the people for his family'snfriends THIS MORNING!

I know there are things we did wrong in this situation right now- but now i am freaking out cause we have all these people ibeing invited and my mom and dad can barely invite the damily-which is not going to happen- they cant not invite family and they are paying for it, why should they have to...

Oh my goodness, i dont know what to do...

now everyone is going to be upset and i dont even know what kind of result can come of it!

Well first remember that not everyone invited will come to the wedding, so you might not be too much over the limit. Can your hall hold more than the # you invited? Can you and your FH pay for the extra guests yourself?

ALL BETTER (I think)(I HOPE)

Fmil fine tuned her list, we fine tuned ours, and my mom fine tuned hers, not everyone will come and FMIL said any # over the amound she has told my mom she will pay for...so we are all set

that was a quick but very tiresome crisis
