My fiance is slightly less social than I am and have fewer friends. He wants to have equal number of friends invited: for example, if he is inviting only 10 people whom I don't already know of, he expect me to also be inviting roughly 10 people whom he doesn't already know of. Apart from that, there are several of my relatively close friends whom he doesn't like and doesn't want me to invite.
One the one hand I think it's reasonable for him to have these requirements as it's our wedding day and I want to make sure he has a good time, so if he feels annoyed that he is surrounded by many people he doesn't know and thus feel bad on the wedding day, that's not what I wanted. But on the other hand, it's indeed creating some frictions - for example, all my friends know each other, and they will eventually find out that some of them in the same circle didn't get invited, and it's making my life a bit hard - I don't know how to explain to them why we are inviting only some but not others, and as a result I've been dodging social events with this group of people because I'm afraid this topic may come up, and not seeing friends in my life has been making my mental state worse ...
So I'm wondering in this situation what's the best way out? We've already had several fights about wedding invites, so I honestly don't know what to do at this moment... Thank you!!!
