GuestList Woes!!

Fiance had a hard upbringing and not expecting much of his family who mostly live out of state to come to our wedding. My family and close friends make up almost double our limit, which is 100 guests. I do not want to make him cut anyone out because we dont have much faith in them but there is always that 'what if?' factor. So im doing most well pretty much all the cutting....and it isnt that i wont enjoy my day if those i dont invite dont come...its that i feel i owe so many ppl....thats my personal ugh....but besides all of this, Im footing the majority of the bill...fiances job doesnt allow him much to save. Am I doing right?

Your use of half sentences made this hard to read, but I will say that my FI would be hurt if I said "I'm paying andmy guests double yours, but I want you to cut them."

You don't need to serve a full meal- cake and punch at a non-meal time is much more budget friendly.

If finances are a problem, maybe taking a lttle more time and saving so you can have a wedding that includes the people you want could be an option. And I agree with misssunshine, you could do a morning/lunchtime reception and keep the food (and alcohol) really light.
