Guest lists make my head hurt

Once upon a time I had brought my guest list down to a number both FI and I were happy with. Then it spiraled out of control again. I just tried to cut down the list by only inviting aunts/uncles but no cousins but that won't work because some cousins are closer than others and some I actually consider friends. In order to be fair to all family I wouldn't be able to invite those cousins so no one would get their feelings hurt. Now my head hurts from trying to figure this all out.

    Girl this list is a never any headache and issue. My only advice is that you look at the big picture and go with your heart because everyone is going to have a problem with it.

    From recent experience - DH and I invited some aunts/uncles/cousins that we really didn't care whether or not were at the wedding and omitted some friends to "keep the peace".  In hindsight, we would've invited some of those friends we really wanted to invite and left some of those relatives off the guest list.  Many of them didn't even show up after they made a big issue of making sure they can bring their sister/kid/mother/etc.  Oh, and they even RSVPed!

    As pp stated, some one will find something to complain about.  I suggest that you all invite those you know really love you and support your marriage.

    In all honesty, there's gonna be someone that thinks you're being unfair. Can't please everyone & trust me....I had to realize it myself. As pp said, invite those you and FI are close to & that support you guys. No matter who questions your decision, stand firm.
