If we are paying for the wedding do we get to invite more people than the groom's family?
Since we are paying for our daughter's wedding is it reasonable to ask the grooms family to invite fewer guests (than we do) if we get into a numbers crunch?

Dear Lomakk,
Actually since parents are no longer financially responsible for their children's weddings, they no longer invite or plan--even if they contribute. So, the couple chooses the guest list. They decide how many guests the parents can invite.
