I'm asking this question on behalf of my friend who is also getting married next year. She hasn't gotten too involved in the boards yet, but I thought you ladies might have some good advice regarding her predicament because i'm stumped!
My friend would like her wedding to be medium sized. She assumed it would be around 200 people--100 each side.
Well her FI is well known in a small town. They're family is big and their group of friends and family friends is even bigger. Her FI's list of people he wants to invite is upward of 300 people!
His parents have offered to help pay for the wedding considering how many people it might be.
The problem is that she would still like the wedding to be a little more intimate and versus a huge event where she doesn't know half of the people there.
What do you guys think? Is there a way for them to compromise?
