     Guest List  

My fiance and I have both decided that we would like a small wedding. I do not like big crowds, and know I would hate my wedding if there were more than 100 people there. Ideally, I would like a wedding of less than 100. Unfortunately, my fiance has a large family and his list is double mine. I am very close with all of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins, and would not consider getting married without them there. My fiance, however, is not as close with all of his cousins. How do I go about narrowing down the guest list? Is it fair to invite all of my Aunts and Uncles, but make him choose which ones he gets to invite? Thanks for your advice!

What is fair is that you take 100 and divide it by 2. You get half, he gets half. You invite 50 people and he invites 50 people and you both agree to stick with inviting only 50 guests each and make it work.

Agreed and only invite those with whom you are very close.
