Help I need to know what is proper...Chaos is starting
I am not sure what is proper... Our parents were only invited to 2 of our friends weddings. Do we invite all our wedding parties parents or do we just invite the ones that invited our parents? Also can we tell our parents No to people we don't know that they want to invite and is it fair that his parents want to invite more people since their family size is small and mine is large and they want equal number of invitees?

Dear Denet,
Only invite those who you want to be there. If you know these people and want them there, then invite them. Remember, you are the host. You set the guest list.
Sometimes, though, we offer a set amount of guests to each parent. If you have the room and money, it is a nice gesture. But, it isn't a must.
As I mentioned before, if they are paying, they may only pay for the reception they want. This is the problem we run into when we accept money from parents. They may not realize that it is a gift and not an opportunity to plan.
