Cutting Back Guest List

My FH and I were already having a considerably small wedding with only about 70 people making the list. Lately I’ve been feeling overwhelmed even with that “small” number. Last night, my FH and I wrote down the twenty people that we each wanted without looking at our original list. Now it’s down from 70 to 51. This mostly just eliminated family we felt we had to invite and coworkers from the job he left right before we got engaged. We are sooooo much happier now that it’s just the essential people. This is less a call for advice and more a reminder to look over your list and make sure it’s who you really want there and not who you feel like you have to invite!
