The problem is that 95% of the people on the guest list (before the additional 40 discovered tonight) will show up. People that we weren't expecting to on my mom's side, have already said they are coming. Of the 40 we discovered tonight, even if only 30 show up, we're over our maximum and that means that some of our friends are going to have to get cut, which is really upsetting to me.

My parents are paying for the wedding. Since my parents and his parents are so far apart geographically, they haven't met or anything to discuss what, if anything, his parents are willing to pay for (aside from the rehearsal dinner). Everyone is coming to our house for Easter, so my parents were going to talk to them then (my mom has budgeted herself it will be fine even if they offer to pay for nothing).

Jordan just looked at the list and said that he doesn't even know who any of the extra people his mom wants to invite are. So I will probably ask him to have another discussion with her about the situation. I was really freaked out, but tried to play it off while I was on the phone with her. I mean, yes there are people on my parents list that Jordan has never met before, but at least *I* know who all of them are!
