[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really the only thing to do is not invite any family friends. OP you say you have 7 close couple friends and you can't decide who to cut. But have you paused to consider how many friends they have? Friends that mean a lot more to them than friends of the parents? They have to juggle the size of the venue vs. their desired guest list. Keep that in mind when you're wringing your hands about someone else's party.[/quote]

Maybe comment that you will decline to invite any of the friends so as to not hurt any feelings. And then mention that they tend to be generous gift givers, but you really don’t want to risk hurting two couples by inviting the other five.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the bride is suddenly more interested in inviting your family friends when she starts to mull the possibility of “generous gifts.”

I don’t know anyone who would want to invite more strangers to their wedding in the interest of getting more gifts. Seriously. You and OP are stuck in small town 20th century mindset. Nobody wants more stuff. [/quote]
