Way OT.
Trying to help my brother & his fiance plan their wedding (lots of time to go). They've got a good idea of what they're doing, I'm just going for outside advice right now to make them feel better about some of the questions they have.
A couple questions:
1.) What exactly is the etiquette for inviting family members? I know in reality it's to hell with the "rules", I'm inviting who I want, it's my big day. But are you allowed to invite some family and not others? Some cousins and not their siblings?
2.) How much time do people need to respond to wedding invitations? And how far out do you make them confirm? For example, if you invite 200 people and 40 can't come, how much time would you need to make a second round of invitations? And do you look stupid going to a second round of invitations of people you were on the fence about if you had to cut the list somewhere?
I'm sure I'll have more questions if this thread gets any replies.
