My parents want to invite up to 120 family members and relatives to my wedding..

I recently got engaged late last year and We're excited to start the process of making our wedding a reality! However there is a lot of conflict between my parents and me and my partner about people to invite to our wedding.Our basic plan at this stage basically falls into wanting a small intimate wedding with up to 80 - 100 guests of people we are close to. We are are also wanting to pay for this ourselves.My parents are very traditional (and are also a big European family) so I have a lot of family and relatives that I have met over the years growing up that I honestly cannot remember much about nor has my partner ever met before. But my parents see weddings as a time for family to come together and have calculated that they have approximately up to 120 family members down to first cousins that they would like to invite to the reception... That they will also pay for..The conflict here is that although they have offered to pay for essentially my side of the guest list, these are people whom I haven't had much or no contact with for probably over 5 years, and that my partner hasn't met before!Another factor about this is that my partner has communicated to me that she doesn't want people at the wedding she hasn't met, or hasn't had any form of connection with. (She also has a challenging relationship with my parents specifically with my mum)I feel like I'm in a rock and a hard place. There's conflict on both sides between my partner and my parents about this and the wedding and I'm feeling like pulling my hair out. I've managed to negotiate other aspects of the wedding with my parents but ultimately they don't seem to be budging on this no matter what I say it. via /r/weddingplanning https://ift.tt/3onuMSR
