Welcome to WeddingWire and congrats on your engagement! Makes perfect sense, Monique! How many are going to be on your guest list in total?

View Quoted Comment We had both agreed to 15 since we have such huge family, we wanted to keep it intimate with just parents and siblings however it's now at 25 guest

That's a good idea, Monique! It's definitely tough and that's still a very intimate number to be there on your special day! Is your wedding a destination wedding or nearby but just looking to keep it small?

He will have more. Since my parents divorce I don't talk to any of my dads side besides one family. Otherwise we would be a bit closer to even if they were all invited.

Hands down he has the bigger family! His grandparents had 4 kids. The oldest has 1 kid, 2nd oldest has 4 kids, 3rd which is my fiance's dad has 5 kids and the youngest son has none. My fiance has 3 sisters and 2 brothers. His oldest sister has 2 kids, 2nd oldest has 5 kids, 3rd oldest 2 kids with 1 one the way, his oldest brother has 4 kids and his youngest brother is only 17 so he has none and that is only on his dad's side. I don't know much about his mom's side, but his mom has 4 or 5 siblings. My grandparents on my dads side had 3 kids and my moms side has 2 kids. I only have 1 sibling and she is 10. My dad's side his brother has 2 kids, my dad has just me and his sister has 1 kid. My mom side her brother has 2 kids and my mom has 2 kids. His family is a lot to handle, but it gets a little easier every year.

That's a LOT of relatives, Liana! Wow! Are you planning to have a big wedding? Or keeping it small?

View Quoted Comment We are trying to keep it small, but its not working so well. We are currently at 150.

I do. I have 4 sisters and a brother. He only has a younger sister. My family is very large. I have 107 second cousins. 😅

But since I didn’t read the second part of the question; we will have about 60 guests most of which is my family. He didn’t have a lot of people he wanted to invite.

I know, definitely no easy task! That's a great number, Liana!

I have the bigger family but he gets along with more people in his family than I do in mine

He has the bigger family.

Me. BY FAR. I have a HUGE family compared to his. Over 50 in just my aunts, uncles, and 1st cousins alone.

Hi Yolanda! Are any of yours or his family members in the bridal party?

Definitely me! Even our extended family is close and gets together each holiday.

My little cousin/best friend will be one of my maids of honor, also have 3 sisters in the bridal party.

He has a bigger family by far

Hi Ashley! Welcome to WeddingWire and congrats on your engagement!

Mine is like that too! Lot's of extended cousins and aunts and uncles of all ages to go around! Makes for a big party, every holiday or special event that comes around.

Me.
I have my dad's side of the family, my mom's, and my stepmoms side of the family.
