I would think you should invite your great-grandparents...
As far as their children go, I guess that would depend on how close you are to them (If you're close at all!) and when was the last time you saw them - If it's like 20 years ago, I would say no, but if you spent last Christmas together, then definitely!

Normal is hard to define when it comes to guest lists. Your guest list usually contains family and friends you are close to - so the real question is: are you close to these people. My greatgrapndparents on my mom's side had 13 kids - and my grandma is the only one i have ever even met. So, we didn't invite any of the great aunts or uncles. But, my husband has a great uncle who has always been very close to the family so we did invite him.
As for the great grandparents, mine are not living, but if they were I would have invited them. You can invite your great grandparents without having to invite all of their children if you wish.
Basically - it boils down to relationships. If you barely now your great aunts and uncles, they will not be expecting an invitation.

Definitely invite your great-grandparents! No, on their children and spouses, etc. But that's an all or nothing rule, you can't invite some of your great-aunts and uncles and not the others in that family.

I did. I invited everyone to my wedding, but I did not try to narrow down the guest list at all, we felt the more the marrier because we were not having an expensive wedding and there was plenty of room at our venue (our church). But I couldnt imagine not inviting them because we would always be invited to one or their weddings, and although we dont get together often we are all together every christmas and thanksgiving.

Nope, I don't think you're expected to invite all their children unless you know them. It's your wedding, invite whomever you want.

I dont think it is necessary to invite all there children and grandchildren but the greatgrandparents yes they may not even show but it is nice to be asked

your great grandparents, definitely, but not necessarily all that other baggage, unless you are close to them
