    Our guest list is probably 80% family.

    Absolutely family. My FH has 3 sides. Mother, father and step-father. Lots of cousins and relatives! I will only invite my parents, and 4 more people that are like family to me, two of those are in my bridal party. We don't really have many friends that we would love to attend.

    We are only inviting about 60 people and it’s mostly family, FH has a much bigger family than I do too.

    Mostly family. This is my second marriage and my FH's first. My mom comes from a large family so we are inviting mostly my aunts and uncles and a couple of cousins but my FH is inviting more family. We have a lot of mutual friends so we don't have too many to invite individually.

    His family. My family is incredibly small. Totally psyched to be entering a large family!

    Absolutely Family. Both my parents sides are huge so there's a lot more of my family who's on the guest list in general, add in his family and it's pretty massive. Plus neither of us have a ton of friends, we're more the a few close friends kind of people.

    Is pretty equal. We had a small wedding so I had a table for each. My family, his family, my friends and his friends, and family friends.
