he wants to invite him/her, i don't - budget dillema
because of the reception facility we fell in love with is really pricey....we comprise to limit the guest list to family and few close friends, i calculated that we can afford only 100-115 ..our combine family is almost 100....i have already settled for much affordable dress and cut down on all other expense (favors,invitations, flowers...etc..) just to have the reception i've always wanted.....but my fiancee is adamant about inviting certain people, that i feel that shouldn't be invited. e.g. he wants to invite his brother's ex (and the mother of his niece)... i feel that she shouldn't be invited for fear of the tension between his brother (the best man) and especially his new wife and baby.....he also wants to invite his ex, (because her mom is his godmother) and his friend & wife, whom he doesn't even hang around with anymore, just because they had invited him on their wedding 5 yrs ago ....he has alot of friends and a few close friends that he keeps in touch and the ones i wanted to invite.....i cannot make him comprehend how i feel without shouting or giving him the silent treatment.....how can i make him understand that we don't need to spend our life savings just to invite this people?

You may be right, but is right the real answer? You need to be working together in the planning of the wedding. You both have to compromise and be willing to give in order to make the other comfortable. I think that you have to talk to him with your budget concerns and the need to cut the guest list.
