ok so i think i know the answer to this question but at this point im desperate. My dads family is quite large (maybe not compared to some, but it is with my tight budget- when i say tigjht i mean like $5000 for everything) 5 aunts, 2 uncles and plenty of cousins, all of which are over 18, and most of which i never see. Im close with maybe 5 of like 20. Ive tried everyway i can think of, with out doing tacky things, to cut corners. Silk flowers, friend-photographer, cheapest (not tacky) venue on a friday. But i cant seem to trim anymore fat off the guest list, which only consists of about 10 friends and the rest family. So heres my question- is it under any circumstances, ok to invite select cousins? Some but not all, most of them live in state and would hypothetically be able to make it.
