My cousin is getting married today. Unfortunately I couldn't go but I talked to my mom last night who is going and got some details.

If you remember this is the cousin that put two registry things in with her invites (one is a honeyfund) and also didn't include my FH on the invite (which I told my mom about and a couple days later my cousin messaged on fbook apologizing saying it was a mistake and my FH was actually invited). But this was the part I really couldn't believe. She has on her website FAQ

"Can I bring a date?

Not unless we know them very well. We have worked extremely hard to create an intimate celebration featuring the most important people in our lives. If you have a question about this please call or email."

Okay that is perfectly fine by me, I think it's acceptable. Then I find out that she's having 175 people there!!!! I understand you don't want extra people but PLEASE don't call in intimate!! What do you think, is 175 intimate??

I think that intimate = 25 or fewer;
small = 50 or fewer.

Also - to me intimate means the people that you interact with frequently. Not your 4th cousin twice removed that you haven't seen since first grade. So people can have large families, but not everyone gets invited. I met some cousins for the first time a couple of years ago, and they were getting married the next year. I didn't expect, and they didn't send, an invitation. We were basically strangers. Also, intimate is not inviting everyone at your workplace. Only those that you socially hang out with, frequently, outside of work....friends! I have a friend at work who just got married...an intimate getaway wedding - and I wasn't invited. No hard feelings. We are good friends at work and on facebook, but haven't taken the friendship to the next level where we do things outside of work.
