My mom just e-mailed me her latest thoughts on our side of the guest list. It''s at 95 people right now. My FI''s side, on the other hand, is only at 35 people. Hmmm, does anyone else see this as awkward?
My family knows too many darn people! My FI''s parents are leaving everything totally up to him (and me) -- they don''t seem to want to add to their side at all. My FI comes from a large family (several aunts, uncles, and cousins on both his mom''s and his dad''s side), but my FI doesn''t really know them all. He doesn''t want to add them just to make his side of the guest list bigger.
I''m feeling very uncomfortable about the uneveness but my mom pointed out that A) my FI and his parents are more than welcome to add anyone they want, and if they choose not to add anyone, that''s their decision, and B) my parents are paying for the reception and they''re not going to feel uncomfortable about adding anyone.
Did you are are you dealing with this?
