Uneven families?

That's how my FH feels but he realized that since being together a lot of my family and friends are now his friends so he feels better about it. :/ I'm sorry. I wish more people could come from your side

Our situation is backwards. We are doing the pick a seat not a side thing.

Outta 7 tables, I have family/friends at 2. His family is just really big. They all love me though so we have venue full of people that love us

My husband invited more family members than I did. It didn't worry me so much, they are my family now too.

DH had 28 family members. I had 4. It didn't bother me. I have become close to his family and I invited a few of friends that I am extremely close to.

I felt the same way for a long time, and even with our wedding of less than 25 he has double the amount I do. You just have to remember that his family is there to see you both, not just him. They love you too!

That is true, all of his friends ARE my friends since we've been together so long but all of the family is his and none of them actually have taken me in as family even after 4 years!

I know how you feel. We are inviting more of his family than mine. Im just not that close with my family. It upset me at first, but I've come to terms that his family is my family now and that you need to surround yourself with the people who care about you most, blood or not blood related.

They don't like you?

They don't dislike me, none have just taken me in as a family member. Just a girlfriend.

We are only inviting our best friends (BP) and family out to aunts/uncles/cousins. My FH has a way bigger family than I do, so probably around 70% of the guests are his. I have four aunts/uncles total, he has more than four on each side. My most prevalent emotion about the situation is nerves/anxiety. I have not met the majority of these relatives, since we don't live near them. I am extremely introverted and the thought of meeting a large number of new people at my wedding frankly terrifies me. However, it was important to FH that his family be there, so I'm dealing with it.

I agree with MVtB, your FH's family will be your family once you're married, that's a good way to think about it.

My FH was annoyed at first because he felt that my guest list was a lot bigger than his. Which in part is true because I pretty much have 2 families. He has a lot of OOT guest that we know can't come.

I'm in the same boat fallinthegarden.. I have extreme social anxiety but my fiance really wants his family there. It's for sure been hard to accept.

My FH feels like that. His family is a lot bigger than mine but I have a lot of friends. In the end it doesn't matter. Everyone there loves you both.

Yeah his family had more. But that meant I got invite more friends. But they are all our family didn't bother me a bit!

My first wedding was all of my family and friends and not much of my ex husbands. He didn't have that many.

Years later FHs family is over taking mine.

Out of our 144 guests, only 33 are from me. I was a little sad over it for a bit. But honestly as long as I'm his wife at the end of the day, I don't care who else shows up

Glad to see I'm not the only one going through this! I'm glad I posted this.. thank you girls

Yep, my FH has a huge family and they are all very close. I also don't have many friends, so I felt a little bad when creating our guest list. It's ok though, because we are loved and our families and friends are very excited for us. I sometimes joke that our wedding will be like My Big Fat Greek Wedding!

I'm experiencing this as well. My FH has a HUGEE family. My FIL himself is 1/13 . The guest list on my side is very slim. Out of 100 34 are mine.
