[quote=Anonymous]I think by the time my kids get married, their weddings will be small unless they have a ton of their own friends to invite. We are a tiny family, one sibling each, it’s unlikely the older generation will still be around given their age versus our kids’ ages, we don’t seem to have cultivated the same wide social circle my mom did…when we got married, we had 125 attendees. About 15 were our friends, 20 were my spouses family/his parents’ friends, and the remaining 90 were all my mom’s friends and family. There’s no way my spouse and I have 90 friends/family we would insist in inviting to our children’s’ weddings.  Maybe 12 immediate family members and a dozen friends, if that, and even then, we’d not insist, but offer to foot the bill for our guests if our children have the kind of weddings that can accommodate people we’d like to invite.

Unlike my mom, who basically just took over and threw a party for her family and friends. Which is fine. I didn’t care either way, but I flat out told her if she wanted a party for people I wouldn’t have otherwise invited then she could pay for it because we would have only invited 40 people including ourselves and our parents given our budget and interest level in having people attend.
