There's no way you can shove 300 people in a 150 person venue. THey won't let you! Are your parents paying for the wedding? Because I DO understand the "family before friends" philosophy, especially with aunts and such. You may not have seen them recently, but they're family and if your parents are hosting the wedding, it's not an uncommon thing. I have friends who only had a small group of friends at their wedding because of the "family before friends' philosophy.
Well shes like a great great aunt or something. She didnt even know who I was. But I completely get the "Family first" thing but I definetly dont think that their friends should come before mine. Sometimes I get the feeling that their friends are a little weirded out by how close my parents expect them to be with their own kids.
No, their friends shouldn't come first, but if they're hosting, I could see how they feel entitled to that belief.
I dunno, i'm super close with my mom...she always thinks it's strange and sad when parents aren't close with their own children.
Oh sorry I re-read what I wrote. I meant that I think that my parents friends find it a little weird that my parents seem to expect their own friends to be friends with their children. For instance, parents have this couple that they are really close to. And they kinda expect me to be close to that same couple and the couple to me close to me. I feel odd being close friends with a couple that are almost 30 years older then me.
Its just all around a little weird.

So our venue can hold 150 MAX. When we first came up with our guest list there was about 300 on it. Well my parents have went all controlling on this wedding and have pretty much decided everything. (Even though I've paid hundreds of dollars towards it) But thats besides the point. I'm knda irritated because my parents are inviting poeple to this wedding that are their friends ONLY. People I hardly know and people I've only met once or twice. And when I gave my mom my list of 15 friends I wanted there she goes "I didnt think you would be inviting so many friends!". Grrrrrrrrrr! They are also making me invite family that I havnt seen in over 15 years! One lady we are inviting asked me if I was pregnant at a family get to gather not to long ago. Totally embarressed me. I dont ever remembe meeting this aunt ever but shes invited now. And when I told my mom I didnt want her there she told me that "She is family and she comes before all your friends".
Whatev, WHATEV! Im over the whole inviteing the soooo many unnecessary people but when I asked her the count of people she sent invites to she told me she didnt know but shes counting the RSVPs shes getting back. ummm WHAT?!? So I'm SUPER afraid we are going to have a 300 person wedding shoved into a 150 person venue.
Ok theres my little rant. Anyone else feeling the same?????
