Hi there, I am in need of some help!
My fiance and I are struggling with the topic of kids at the wedding. We are on the same page, but we don't know what the "right" answer is.
Both my fiance and I have tons of cousins - 15 on my side and another ten on his. All of these kids range from ages one to 20 or so. Out of these kids, we are close to about ten of them.
My mom has four siblings and each sibling has children. I am extremely close to one of my aunts, "Gina", who has four kids. I am close to the kids as well, and I have asked one to participate in the wedding by making decorations. Her kids range in age from 14 to 20. I am not nearly as close to her other three siblings, and I have almost no relationships with their kids who are all under the age of 14.
On my dad's side, I have three cousins...one of the cousins will be a bridesmaid in the wedding.
To complicate the situation, my fiance's brother has four kids, two of which will be in the wedding.
We would like to invite all of the kids that have a role, as well as their siblings. That would put our count at about 11 kids and includes the family that we are closest to. Is it acceptable to say that these are the only children that will be invited? Are we opening up a can of scary worms by not including all of the cousins? Do we need to just suck it up and invite all 25 kids? Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks!!
