I have been trying to compile a guest list just close family and friends. I have asked FH to do the same. My mom is paying for the reception space and the catering for us so she is caping the max people at 100 which is fine I dont like big weddings. I am fustrated because my mom, FH and I all agreed after a friends wedding no children because of the screaming during the ceremony and the running around at the reception. So mom and I also made another limit no second cousins to cut the list down more. I was talking to FH tonight and I told him to have his grandmother (who knows more about his family than him) to call my mom when possible so they can disscuss the guest list. We got into an argument about his aunt and her daughter bringing a child. I truly dont want any kids except the wedding party kids and they are leaving early with a babysitter since they are young. I dont know why they cant get a babysitter like the rest of my family is most likely going to do. I have many young second cousins that are young and i would love them at the wedding but we cant afford it.
So frustrating especially when discussed this earlier. Sorry needed to vent.
