Your Wedding - Your Parents Guest List Or Your Guest List? by Gabry(f): 4:28am On Jan 04, 2010
Lets say its your wedding and you have tons of friends and also your parents have tons of friends and you cannot invite all of them cause he cost a bomb and also the hall will not fit all.

So will you tell your parents that because its your wedding, you want to invite all your friends and tell them not to invite their friends or would you rather tell your friends that you cannot invite them cause your parents will be inviting their friends instead. Parents can be very sensitive on this issue. I know mine are.

So for you what will you do?

compromise with the them i'd say. since there is limited space, invite those who mean the most to you and your family not just anyone you call friend" or your parents call "friends". and dont let your parents overshadow your decision, always bear in mind, its your wedding not theirs. its a time for you to take the wheel

longest time shocked shocked how are you ma little sis kiss

Of course there'll be a mix, so I suppose youre talking about who has the higher percentage.

Obviously this'll depend on whose sponsoring your wedding. If its the parents it only makes sense to respect their wishes. Then again, if you need to recover your wedding costs, then parents friends would be rather important.

My parents paid for the whole wedding and they wanted to invite all of their friends thiking that it would be bettercause they give big money bu my sister insist to invite all hr friends cause she said its her wedding day and not theres. So both wee stubborn and both didnt want to not invite all thatthey have wrote in on their list.It was tough!

it doesnt matter IMO. just becos your parents are sponsoring the wedding doesnt give them authority to dictate what gets done or not. its her wedding. she still have a say. since there is limited space on the invite list, i believe still she should compromise with her parents on the number of people to invite
