    Is medium an option? If so that one. I just want the people who were there supporting our relationship there. if I haven’t spoken with you for 2 or more years there’s no point of you being at my wedding.

    OMG!! We wanted less than 100 people but unfortunately, he has close to 100 people by himself. So we're trying to stay under 200 and the bridal party is 1 MOH, 1 BM, 3BM, 3GM, FG, and RB. So...small bridal party, big wedding! LOL

    Hey Stephanie! You're in the same boat I am! How did that situation pan out with your MOH? Didn't someone leave your wedding party (because of selfish reasons)?

    I think we are on the smaller scale. No bridal party and 90 guests will be invited with 50-75 expected.

    Yes, we are getting married in a church. But I also love big weddings, so it doesn’t bother me at all.

    We don't have a total guest count since we haven't send out invitation yet but we're thinking it'll be around 200 to 250 guests. 3 bridesmaids, 1 jr. bridesmaid, 4 groomsmen & we haven't decided if we'll have a flower girl or a ring bearer.
