I have a large family so I would have liked to cut it down some however these are people who would be at any family gather and I wouldn't change that for anything. I have have a bigger family then my guest list wanted.
My dad's fiancée. She likes to take jabs at me and has made a scene at family functions before. My father doesn't tend to run interference either and I'm iffy about him too. Gotta love family drama.
Some family members that I don’t really know and some of my parents friends. It all worked out in the end but I was surprised by how some of my family members acted about who should be invited!
Not many people actually at all... My in-laws were super understanding about cutting a bunch of their extended family, as my FH has seen them ONCE in the 5.5 years we've been together (if not longer), and that's because their grandma passed away...
We've got a guest list that is hovering between 100-110... To me it's perfect.
I wish I hadn't had to invite my grandmother (she's all over the map in behaviour), one of my step-sisters (she's a little abrasive and she changed into sweat pants for the reception), and some of my husband's extended family but luckily they declined due to age and health issues.
Extended family that I never see other than on family occasions (weddings and funerals). My mom's side is VERY large with lots of second and third cousins it's expected I invite, and who will come, but it's close to 50 people I don't really care whether are there or not.
Quite a few people! Extended family mainly. I’d rather have a small, intimate wedding - but ours is very large! Oh well, it’ll still be an amazing day 😊

Extended family that we haven’t seen or spoken to in a while. I wish we could just have a very intimate wedding/ceremony.
No one, we have kept one cousin on my side off the guest list and if she tries to come I will have her removed. She drinks too much and does embarrassing things when intoxicated.
My cousin. I’ve got a big family and not everyone’s going to get an invite. My parents are pretty “do your own thing” re planning, but they’ve made it clear that I must invite this one cousin who I consider to be a busybody and whose presence I could very much do without. But I’ve been told I have to invite him (just pray he won’t be able to make it). 🙁🤦🏾♀️🙁
A certain aunt & uncle. We’re 11hours away and they’re cheap. Not poor,just cheap. They’re trying to get a ride with anyone to split costs etc...Once again they ARE cheap and I’m done hearing about it, stay hooooome! Rant done xD
