This seems to be a popular topic on here today. Here's my dilemma- my in-laws are just giving us a lump sum of money to use toward our wedding where we choose. Because all of FI's family is from out of town, they figured it would be best if they didn't handle the RD. So, my wonderful father is basically doing all the leg work. I am trying to come up with an approximate number of guests, but I am trying to decide where to draw the line. Lots of people invite OOT guests, but that is about 90% of my guest list, so that would basically mean I'm having two receptions. I know obviously my wedding party and their significant others and anyone else involved in the actual ceremony. My question is what family members do you invite? I've got the obvious parents and grandparents. Do I draw the line there? I have aunts and uncles, but I have 4 of them, all of whom are married and have children. I really wanted this to be a small, relaxed gathering, so I'm just looking for everyone else's input. What did you do or what would you do?
