Guest list

My fiance and I recently moved to BC. Our wedding is in over a year from now, June 1, 2019. We are keeping our guest list under 100, we got pretty close and it started to look like it was going to be over 100 with kids. So we eliminated all kids, except for his only cousin who will be 15 at the time.

We are considering leaving space for potential close friends we make here, we both work in very team/family oriented jobs so we are both guaranteed to make a few close friends we want to invite. Of course not all will be able to make the trip from BC to Ontario for obvious reasons. Do you think it's still worth saving a few spots? 10? 15?

We will probably also cut our original list a bit now too, his mom and aunt want us to invite a few family members on his side that we literally never see or don't even know them and I don't want to invite them at all but don't want to offend his mom or aunt.

We still have at least 9 months before we start to send out save the dates so we have plenty of time to make these decisions. Just curious on the communities thoughts! 😊
