Are you inviting cousins?

We only invited first cousins. No second cousins on my side yet, and I'm very close with my very small number of first cousins. My H has a ton of first cousins, and even more second cousins, so we had to stop at first cousins. But because that's all we were inviting on my side, it made it easier to do that on his side.

I am only inviting my first cousins (they're twins, and the girl is my MOH ). He is inviting a bunch of his, as he has a rather large family.

Yes. Most I don't anticipate will show up but they are invited.

Yes. We have first and second cousins coming. My one cousin is my mator of honor

We invited FH’s parents first and second cousins as they said we had to but drew the line after FH’s first cousins. Adding his second and third cousins would’ve been another 50+ people! My family isn’t close with our extended family at all so it’s been a big adjustment for me marrying into a large Jewish family!

Yes! I am close to my cousins as we all grew up together. I have a lot of them (22) so with their spouses, children, etc it definitely added to my guest count but I wouldn't have it any other way!

First cousins on my side. We grew up extremely close. Just parents/ siblings/nieces and nephews on his.

No cousins but just because we aren't close and the ones I have won't be able to make it. Ultimately it was people we actively spend time with. Family or otherwise. And in my opinion there's still too many people invited lol.

Yes of course. Everytime we have a family event, my cousins always come and we grew up together so of course.

Sadly, both my FH and myself have strained relationships with most of our families, so we will only be inviting a select few who are of blood relation to our wedding (his mom and sister, my mom and her boyfriend).

No cousins, we cut family off at aunts/uncles since we wanted to keep our list small.

I couldn’t imagine not inviting my first cousins, but then again all but one is under 18 so I have no reasons not to want them around. I did however exclude a step-cousin who I was once close with but am not anymore. It was just kind of sad to realize that.
As for more distant cousins, I’m inviting two. My dad asked to invite one of his cousins who he is close with. I had no problem with that. I drew the line with her kids, although my grandmother wasn’t happy about it.
My Mom has a ton of cousins so I only invited one who I am personally friends with. There were a few more that I considered including, but I had to draw the line somewhere.

FH’s family doesn’t have as clear lines so it was trickier to navigate. He’s inviting about half his first cousins and a handful of second cousins.

We just did first cousins. If we added ‘kids’ aka second cousins, it would be 50 extra people so we had to draw the line!

No cousins unfortunatley. Wedding will be too small😔

1st cousins. If we have room then we’ll invite 2nd cousins.

No cousins, no aunt's/uncle's, no extended family. I have a relatively broken family where we didn't even consider inviting my brother. FHs family just isn't close (military family), and he has cousins his age that he's never met. We invited 22 people - mostly friends- who we are close to.

TBH, I'm slightly ashamed we don't have a lot of people to invite.

I'm inviting a few 1st and 2nd.

If they couldn’t remember my fiancé’s name the one time a year I saw them at Christmas - nope!

We are inviting 1st cousins and a select few adult 2nd cousins. If we invited 2nd cousins under 18 it would be way too many people.

Between us, we have over 70 first cousins (not including their spouses or children). We really wanted an intimate wedding, so we only invited the few we were close to. I invited all my aunts and uncles, then only one cousin. My H invited only his aunts, uncles, and cousins who he is close to and who live locally. I'm sure there were some hurt feelings, but I think for the most part people understand.
