I'm running into a bit of an issue with my guest list I am hoping you can help me out with. My parents are paying for the wedding. We are currently at 171 which of that I believe 90 something are from my family/ my friends/ my moms friends from elementary school. My fiancé has brought it to my attention that he feels it's not right for my mother to invite her friends while his mother can't invite her work friends as they were his teachers and a part of his life (we are trying to keep the guest list to a minimum for costs sake). Is it right for my parents to get a majority of the guest list because they are paying? Should it be equal across the board? Should my in laws contribute if they want more people?
