Hey Ladies - I don't post on here very much but I need some advice! It has to do with who is on FI's guest list. A little background - We were originally planning on doing a destination wedding (Key Largo, FL) having a ceremony only and just family invited, then have a reception in Mpls when we get back with everyone invited. We were going to do it that way because of our budget (I was getting quotes at $170 per person for reception). Recently I got an estimate from a new site there and they quoted us $65 per person for the reception. I was so excited because now we could have the whole wedding and reception in FL, with a (still) smaller guest list (60-70 ish people). I was making a guest list one who I thought should be on the list -cutting out people from my family- to scale back. But he insists that if we have a wedding with friends there also he 'owes' people. People from high school who invited him to their weddings - I haven't met more than 3 of his friends from high school but he listed off about 10 people plus thier spouses. I don't think we owe people invites to our wedding. I would like to invite the friends that we hang out with often and we know will come. I don't want to take that chance of inviting 100 people with hopes that 40 won't be able to come. ok I'm done. Thanks for reading this - I hope you all understand what I'm trying to get at.
