So, FH and I decided to ditch the 120-something guest list we originally had and go micro (down to 35!). We decided that we only want close family and very close childhood friends in attendance. However, I'm just not sure if I'm being too restrictive and leaving people out. FH seems content with his decisions, but I'm hesitant.
I'm afraid that if I invite a couple of close friends (and their S/O's), I would have other friends that would feel left out and I wouldn't want that either! I must say that one of them just invited me to her microwedding that will take place almost exactly a month before my wedding, so there are some feelings of guilt(?) there. I just hate the idea of making people upset, even though I know that it's supposed to be "my day, my choice".
Our new venue can only accommodate so many people, and I don't want it to turn into "if I invite this friend, I'd need to invite that friend, and then I'd need to invite that friend, and..." until suddenly my tiny wedding isn't so tiny and laid back anymore!
How did you guys decide who needed to be there for your special day?
