We are getting married in 6 months and can have 100 people at our venue. The problem is that we have too many people that 'can't be cut'. My Fi's mum says she wants each of her 8 siblings there and a few extra family members, as well as cousins etc but if we invite all of these family members we don't get to have any more than 10 friends. If we were close to these people that would be fine but I have not even met some of these people, some I met for the first time at our Engagement party and some I have met twice in our 8 years together.
We are a very social couple and see our wedding day as a party to celebrate our love with our friends and family but we are being pressured into having only family because it is the 'right thing to do'.
Is there a tactful way to not invite all of these family members without causing grief between my fi and his mum?
