We're about to start planning our wedding. I have a huge family and friend group (100+) that I want to invite and she has a very small family and group of friends (>50). We haven't talked about this yet, but I wanted to get some opinions on this before hand. Should I reduce the be l number of people I want to invite to match hers? Is it unfair to her that I'll have a significant majority at the wedding?

I’m about to go through the same thing. I’ll be inviting more guests around 120 as opposed to her 50. We’ve had a chat that we will pro-rata the expenses i.e. they pay for who they invite and I for me. I’ve had issues within my family over money in the past so Ive learnt to not take any favours. Having said that, if you think you can reduce the count on your end go ahead, but if not and you need to invite the 100, it would be fair for you to pay for your count. Worth an open conversation and will also save you from
Family drama / politics in the future about how one paid less than the other etc. Hope that helps!

You know her better than we do on if she’ll care about you having more people or if you all want a big or small wedding. With so many people I’d question the cost. If you can afford to feed/seat that many people, then have at it.

I have about 5 good friends and no family / estranged, so let’s just say that your situation could be even more extreme haha. Tbh not quite sure what I will do when the same comes up for me.
