A month after sending STDs, FI and I decided to cancel our original date until further noticed. We decided on a new date, which is 11 months after the original date. But this time, we want to cut 1/2 of our guest list (mostly people added by FMIL). We really want to keep it with only immediate family and close friends. We've tried scaling it down with other things (DIY invitations, DIY flowers, homemade sweets instead of traditional party favors) but the list is making both of us misrable.
I know it's bad etiquette to do this but I'm stuck.
Note: the original list was 125. We want to go down to 65-70.
