[quote=Anonymous]We had no kids (exceptions for infants) and yes I regret it, but then again, I regretted it at the time. It was truly the only way we could afford to have just about every family member there. My mom is from a family of 12 (yes, her parents were Catholic!) but she got divorced, and remarried, into another large family and DS has four brothers, all married. Between us we have well over 100 first cousins. There would have been nearly 100 children to accommodate, had we allowed children, so we didn't. We also did not invite second cousins, (even though I'm tighter with some of them than I am with some first cousins) great aunts / great uncles, or many friends, really. Just basically our closest friends and family. We were still at over 300 and, although we did it as cheaply as possible, but we ran out of money and this was the only way we could cut things up without alienating my family.

So I don't regret being some sort of fussy bridezilla in any way, because I wasn't. I actually wanted to have kids. I would have rathered invited the people I love, and their kids, and worried less about inviting one cousin but not the other, etc, etc. But everyone told me I couldn't do it that way, or there would be irreparable family damage. So I guess I regret that I went for etiquette over emotion. I would have rather had someone's kids there than my drunk ass racist uncle, that's for sure. [/quote]
