Are you sticking with immediate family only, going all-in on the entire extended fam, or somewhere in-between?

    We for the most part are inviting extended family. However, I'm not inviting my cousin who I've been informed is actually touring during that time as well as some other people who I'm not close to in my family.

    I only have immediate family and 2 of my cousins. We are keeping it small and only want people we keep in contact with year round and see more then once every 5 years.

    We are inviting some extended family and by we, I mean me. I have the bigger family so most of my side is family and most of my fiance's side is friends.

    My cousins were more like my sisters growing up, so we included Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and a few Great Aunts who are local.

    Mostly immediate family, cousins, aunts, uncles. A few extended second cousins on both sides, but ones that we are more close to. All other super extended family on my side is invited to another party at a later date.

    Only immediate/first relations. So aunts, uncles, first cousins. The only second cousins are going to be traveling long distance, and that's if they can even make it.

    Yes, I am inviting my aunts and uncles, first cousins and their kids (for the ones who have kids) No second cousins or great aunts/uncles. I have a very large family and 60+ first cousins.

    My family is small so no on my side. We are inviting an Uncle on my fiance's side. Otherwise it is immediate family, friends and a couple of my Fiance's co-workers

    We started with immediate family, first cousins that we are closest too, followed by a couple of great aunts, uncles, and our closest friends. We had a struck number and only are inviting those we are closest too.
