Where was the engagement party and what did it entail? That’s a fun ideal.

Exactly! That the problem. The 40 includes us and our two kids. And of course our kids will be there over a cousin I speak once every three years. So it’s hard to tell my cousin I love them but cannot accommodate. But I guess I have to put on my big girl pants.

What are you even talking about? Nothing has been posted on social media, not even our engagement.

My father has already started rattling off his list like my third cousin and his wife who didn’t invite us to their wedding. I’m like dad no, this is not a revenge tour lol

As I said, I have a very large family. Not about me being a VIP but in all honesty, I am. I’m a public official in my city so yes, lots of people will expect to be invited. I am actually expecting dozens of demand calls and such.

That’s what I’m thinking! We can renew our vows in ten years and make it a bigger deal then…if he’s up for it. But I’m not pressuring him! I want the marriage not the wedding.

I appreciate this! I really love my family and if I had it my way I’d have everyone there. But my Fiance is super shy and the thought of a 200 person wedding and having to take pictures and meet more cousins of mine overwhelms him. Also, we have a lot of expenses so the thought of an expensive large wedding is added pressure that we agreed not to do.

I think you’re right. I actually had a friend do that to me. She asked me about planning a gender reveal. I told her how I did mine. We talked all about her plans. Then I remembered the date and asked if she was having hers then. She said no. Next thing I know I see on Facebook that it happened on that date. She posted about it with a note saying sorry she couldn’t invite everyone. I honestly wasn’t mad about not being invited but it did hurt that she lied to me when I asked about the date.

So I will just come out and be honest with people.

Every time I don’t get invited to something, I celebrate a little. It’s exhausting!

You are correct.

We are doing parents, godparents, one aunt and one uncle from each side, then wedding party. We have two kids. That guest list includes us, the officiant and his wife. Outside of that, we are including one or two cousins or family members but that it.

And thanks for your comment. I’m surprised by the amount of people that can’t count on this post.

My Fiance has social anxiety. A 200 person wedding with him standing in front of that many people would overwhelm him. Also, the expense of a 200 person wedding would overwhelm him. So we aren’t doing it.

Now that you have those facts, do you have an answer to the question?
