My fiancé and I are having a wedding at a very intimate private home that sleeps around 12 people. We are definitely inviting immediate family which ends up being around 25 people. We want to keep it as intimate as possible as we are both very private people that don’t enjoy the hosting aspect of large weddings.
We cannot decide whether to extend the invitation to ~10 close friends. Of course, we would like to have them there but I worry that if I was a guest at a TINY majority family wedding I would feel so awkward. Is this just the antisocial part of me projecting? How would you feel if you were invited to a wedding at a home (2 states away) and it was just you, your 5 friends, and the couple’s family member who you didn’t know?
I also worry that mixing two groups would mean that we would need to focus on entertaining both groups rather than just enjoying our night stress free in the presence of family…all thoughts are welcomed 🙏
