Thanks for the responses everyone!
Haha…I think that’s one of the benefits actually 
There are so many random acquaintances who your parents barely see on a regular basis, and who probably couldn’t remember your name if their lives depended on it, and yet, people act like it would be the end of the world if you don’t invite them. My fiancee and I could easily pare our guest list down to less than 100 relatives and friends who really know us, and whose presence would actually matter to us. But because of social obligations, we’re probably going to end up with at least three times that many people.
If you don’t mind my asking, where did your friend get married?
I know…one of my close friends from college got married last year in Paris. There were probably about 40-50 guests there, and it was probably one of the most beautiful and memorable weddings I’ve been to.
