Guest list… if you want an intimate wedding, how do you deal with extended family? E.g., a family of cousins with three grown kids, two of whom have spouses, but I’m only close with the parents and 2 of the cousins. Do I have to invite the 3rd cousin & his wife (who didn’t invite me to their wedding btw)? Another family - I’m close with 1 cousin, her partner, and her parents, but I’m not close with the sibling cousin who also has a spouse to be invited. For a 100 person wedding, it doesn’t work.

Invite who you have a relationship with - even if that means cutting people within the same “tier” of family. Mention to the ones that are invited that the whole fam isn’t bc of guest count! That way they can share if the other family member asks

My mom has a big family (I have 22 first cousins, plus about 10 of their spouses), so we are doing first cousins only and no children. It can get sticky when you make “exceptions” (e.g. inviting some cousins but not one of their siblings) so I’d suggest communicating with the family about the 100 person limit, rather than just not inviting certain people. It’s your wedding though… so do what you want 😅

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

Given that the wedding starts early, we will have guests (~30) flying in the day before. What is the expectation in terms of arranging dinner for them? We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.

Anyone unsure of what to do for bridesmaids “proposals?” I want them to get excited and feel special but when I see how much money I’d be spending on things like custom totes or mugs I’m like is it really worth it? I’d send cards but most of my bridal party I see pretty regularly/they live nearby so it seems odd to send them something when I live down the street. Help! 😅
