Time to spill about your relationship and planning habits!!

Whether you have a huge family or just had a harder time trimming down your guest list - inevitably your guest list will not be evenly split 50/50 between the two of you! Who is inviting more guests to the wedding? You or your fiancé(e)??

    Without a doubt him! We are inviting 156 - 40 of them are mine! 35 of them I have never met and probably won't see again after the wedding.

    He is. He grew up in LA and we are getting married in Vegas and live in OH. So he hasn't seen most of his friends or family in about 10 years so he is inviting all his close friends from back home and family. I'm only inviting close cousins and family and like 1 friend

    H had over twice as many guests as I did. My whole guest list fit at two tables. FH had something 7 tables of guests.

    Me for sure! My aunts/uncles/ first cousins alone total 110 people. HIs aunts/uncles first cousins total 11. He invited more friends / coworkers though so we're probably 2/3 my guests 1/3 his!

    I think we're actually fairly even. She has more family, but I have more family friends. Most of our (not family) friends are mutual. So it works out pretty well.

    I'm inviting more, since I'm pretty close with a lot of my cousins, and he isn't inviting any of his cousins. He invited more friends than I did, though.

    Probably FH but, the guest list is pretty even. He might have 4-5 more people than me though.

    Him, for sure. He has a lot more people he wants to invite than I do, and his family is a lot bigger.

    FH probably had more people on the invite list to begin with, but I think it's just about even now with the final count.

    Both of us are pretty even. We split the amount of guests in half and then stuck to our allotted amounts.

    We're split 50/50. I have a huge family but we're having an intimate DW so everyone we're inviting is basically a mutual friend or family member, so excited! (And so excited we didn't have to fight over the guest list!)

    He is. His family.is twice the size of mine. Because of that we are doing the wedding in his home town so that more of his family can come. My family has to travel anyway so they might as well travel there.
