Are you inviting extended family?

I am only inviting the ones I want to be there. Also, any family that has invited my FH and I to their wedding. I will, however, be sending out invitations to Poland, Ireland, Sweden and Greece to family I have not seen in many many years, but I know they won't be able to attend since if you're a Polish citizen, you need a visa to come to the US. I am doing it as a courtesy.

Only a handful of them on my side. We don't really talk to our other extended family members.

We’re somewhere in between. Mostly immediate family but we’re also very close with some extended family like our cousins. Some of our cousins are like siblings to us.

Kind of invited our people from inner circle. Some are immediate family while others are a little more extended but just a few. In the end the general was immediate family.

We invited aunts/uncles and first cousins

Define extended family lol. My side is not, but FH is super close to all his family so we will be inviting some of them.

I have a massive family. I'm one of six, my dad is one of six my mom is one of nine and she was still close to her cousins, not just her siblings. All my surviving uncles and aunts are coming, and so are all my cousins. There's a few of my mom's aunts and uncles coming, and some of my second cousins and their kids. The more the merrier.

Some we are, some live too far away and can’t fly in. But we at least sent them announcement card.

We invited extended family, anyone that we are close with and want there is invited.

My fiancé is inviting cousins 1st and 2nd, immediate family of course and close friends. I have my immediate family and few close friends.

Cousins made the cut but that’s it. We have huge families so any more than that our friends couldn’t come because there aren’t any venues that can hold us all 😂

Aunts, uncles and first cousins. After that it would be quite a long list. (Plus I haven't spoken to many of them in quite some time). At some point you have to draw the line. I think it's only fair to reserve an invitation for people you are actually in contact with.

For the ceremony we have invited anyone that we have actively talked to outside of family events in the last 2 years. It's mostly family and some close friends. However, the reception everyone is invited (even if we don't know you, if you want to come feel free to)

Well, technically I invited all of my extended family (parents, siblings, aunt/uncles, cousins) and I still only sent out 4 invitations :-) I have an extremely small family (2 first cousins, that's it). We decided to go with the people who we see all the time: grandparents, parents, siblings. The family we see at church on Sunday and have over for BBQs. I think of it this way, if you don't send me a card or call me to say Happy Birthday, you probably wouldn't be that interested in seeing me exchange vows either. I am all for a small guest list.

No! My mom side has a huge amount of people! I alone have 27 cousines and that is not including their partners or kids! Sorry, but we decided that's too much!

We wanted a small guest list so we kept it to close family and friends. We both have large families but FH's family is spread out so he didn't really invite any cousins. As for my family I kept it to cousins I'm in contact with on the regular. There are some that I would have loved to invite but they are not close and probably wouldn't be able to make it anyway.

1st cousins is about as far as our list goes, there are a few exceptions of 2nd+ cousins who we are close to, but barely a handful.

No extended family other than cousins.

Guess I’m in between. I’m inviting the aunts, first cousins and their kids can come, my great aunts and uncles. And then I’m inviting my mom’s first cousins that have been involved in my life. There’s only like 3 of them. And well technically I’m inviting some more distant cousins, but again they’ve been super involved in my life through church. One of them I’ve taught in youth for the last seven years. She graduates this year and is going to be on of my bridesmaids.

The only family of mine that I'm inviting is my mum.
For him, it's nuclear family only. Which means mum, dad and sister.
