I could definitely use some help with my current inviting situatuion. Both my and my fiance's families are rather large and our cap for guests invited is around 200 to 220 at the most. We are at 200 with a few extra people on our minds about who to invite. With that in mind, we're also trying to keep everything as cheap as possible.
What we have each done is invited parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, first cousins and close friends. In addition to those, we have also invited great aunts and great uncles but not their children or their children's children.
I was so excited because after months of deciding and editing the guest list we have finalized. However, I recently received an engagement gift in the mail from a distant second cousin who I have met once or twice. She is very kind and nice, but now I don't know if I am supposed to invite her and her family or not. She lives about eight hours away. If I do invite her I would then have to invite around 30 other relatives because they are so close and do every thing together.
I could really use some of your advice.
