    Yes, but only because I have never met them as they are family on his side but live far away.

    My fiance's parents want us to invite a bunch of people we don't know. However we told them that is not happening. We are having a small close family and friends wedding and we are sticking to it! We have a budget and we don't want to buy dinner for people we don't know lol

    Yes. My FH is from Chicago and I'm from the GTA. He has a lot of relatives who live in Arizona/California, etc. Its hard to meet up with them. We've only been together for a year, so I haven't met a lot of them. Sometimes life just makes it hard to all get together!

    Nope, if we don't know them they aren't coming. Its too small of a wedding to give up spots like that

    We had a few friends whose significant others we hadn't met and I insisted on meeting them at least once before the wedding.

    We have met everyone on our guest lists; except one of his cousins who lives on the either side of the country, have not met her but we actually text each other and keep in touch

    No! My mom did request we invite one of her friends, since my parents are helping to pay for the wedding. But, we both know her so it's fine with us. I am inviting other friends of my parents but I am close to them as well.
