" I have 1000.00 and 120 guests, and I can't cut the list"

Yes, you can. Because if you don't, you'll have nothing but stress and glue gun burns until you walk down the aisel.  

Kayla, one of the savvy brides on Wedding Wire broke it down in a discussion last week; it's so simple!  You make a list, check it twice and DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ADD TO IT. Whether that's your parents, random guests who want to brind an uninvited plus one or child, or your own sense of guilt.  Stay strong!

This is how you construct  your list. 

Don't invite cousins.
Don't invite family friends. 
Don't invite church family. 
Don't invite co workers. 

Do invite parents(4 people) 
Do invite siblings/spouses/ kids(or not). Maybe 10 people. 
Invite grandparents(8 people) 
Invite your 5 best friends and their spouses. 


There is your list. Anyone else isn't necessarily a requirement.

There, now wasn't that simple?  You'll have a wonderful, elegant celebration you can afford instead of a nail biting, money sucking fracus that you cannot.  And you'll be just as married at the end of it all!
