I am stuck! We are trying to plan our wedding location but I can’t figure out where and how many people to invite. We have a very small budget and we live in Southern California. All of my family except my dad live in Northern California. I really want to just go to Vegas and have something small, fun and affordable. I figure since my close family has to fly here why not Vegas. But I know his parents want to invite certain friends and family. This will cost more for the reception, etc. I guess my question is, how much should you accomodate who parents want to invite? I really don’t mind all those people, but I am thinking about money and what I really,really want. I know my fiancee wants to accomodate his parents for respect to them. But I also know he wants something small to. My 2nd choice for a wedding is on the beach, which is very affordable and maybe just a dinner afterwards with a small crowd.
What do you think about the location, they really want us to have it at there house, but I really want it somewhere else. They will be giving us money, but only enough to cover the cost of it at their home. I guess we could except the money and still have it in Vegas. My fiancee really wants them to be able to invite certain friends and family members.
