The Horror of Making the Guestlist

THE GUEST LIST!
As much as Eds and I would like to limit the guests to family, close relatives and close friends..making it REALLY simple and intimate..parang ang hirap gawin. Eds only wanted a wedding with 50 guests who all know the story of us. But this is too impossible especially on my part. This would be the first wedding of the first born, first apo (at first pamangkin!). The last wedding that my family had experienced was roughly 19 years ago (wedding ng uncle ko!)
The task of making a guestlist is difficult in a sense that you have to weigh in the importance of the guests. My family isn't that big but there are family friends who are more than friends to us all these years. For Eds, it will be really impossible as his mom has 12 other siblings though his dad is the only son. Add to that the pressure of being the first born in the family.
So far, we believe we are still within our target number.We don't want it to exceed 160! originally, we wanted 50 but let's be realistic, we made it a hundred but still can't so finally 150. In that number there are still names that would pop out in our minds every now and then so we are putting a buffer (just in case). There is still an RSVP though.
We are going to distribute the invites probably by the first week of April so we can start with the RSVP.
We have had a lot of accomplishments though we felt we were stuck with this preparation aspect!
