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.
