It’s been too long since I last wrote here. A lot has happened and one of them was my boyfriend’s proposal. Now we’re in the wedding planning stage as we want to have it on December this year and one of the things that is stressful is the list of guests. We both are from a big family and that’s cool and I didn’t think it would be an issue until now. I asked him who among his relatives would be invited because I won’t be inviting any. I wanted an intimate wedding. As I was writing what he was saying the list of guests had already come to more than a hundred people (that’s already including us, our immediate family and the entourage) and I haven’t listed any of my friends yet I was thinking do we really need to have ALL of them on the wedding day. I mean we can always have a separate eat out day for the other relatives right? Image cr: pinterest

Thank you. I would but I just thought that I’m not marrying alone so I should also consider my fiance’s decisions.

It actually depends on the budget. If you can have them in one setting in one place at the same time that would be ok like for example ballroom of a hotel. Filipino tradition puts priority on the family and circle of the bride.

I very much agree with the budget factor. I also wouldn’t want to spend so much on the wedding day, I think it’d be more practical to have a budget ready for the married life not just for the wedding day. Circle of the bride? Or both the bride & groom? Because in my case, it’s him who has a LOT of the invitees.

@weevee18 in our area priorities are given to the bride ,sometimes the groom's family just take the back seat and give way to the family of the bride.

@weevee18 That is a big wedding. It is your special day so you should have whoever you want at the wedding. You could have a small wedding, with not a lot of people and then have a party afterwards with the others.

A lot will depend on how much your budget can afford. Congratulations!! That you are engaged. Also it was good to see you after a long gap.

Nothing would be a problem to whomever is to be invited as long as the budget could afford or could cover it.

That I agree but I’m actually not the type of person who likes big parties/celebrations. Also, I feel like the budget can be used for other more important things.

Yes. I don’t mind having relatives attend but maybe not too many.
