I'm getting really upset about this guest list situation. Any advice or words of wisdom would be great. We are having our reception in the church hall after the wedding. It holds 250 people. Well, my mom and my FMIL sat down to do a guest list and this list has gone up to 420 people!!! Thats INSANE!! I have tried to tell the moms that I get 150, and my fiance gets 150....which is ok on my side. But his side is almost 300 people!! And his mom is insisting we have to invite all of them, even though we have been together for 6 years and I have never met most of them and I know its been a good ten years since hes seen 90% of them. FMIL suggested we just rent a bigger venue!!! UM HELLO!! MY parents are paying for this and his parents have offerend NO financial support!!! How do I handle this?? I've tried to be firm but polite...and its not working. I will not put my parents in bankruptcy feeding people that I have never met and whom he hasnt seen since childhood.
