Who Should You Invite to Your Wedding...

Since sending out the Invitations a Week ago, we have received about 20 responses, totalling in 34 people so far that are coming, and 8 people that unfortunately won't be able to make it. So far we haven't had two many surprises, however there have been a couple where we are pleasantly surprised that they are coming. Even though FI tries to pretend to be a "scrooge" a la Ebenezer--




acting "excited" when we get a decline--since we did go over our limit with the invitations. I know it's just an act , and even he has admitted that he is glad that we got to invite everyone that we care about to participate in our big day.

With that in mind, when browsing CNN today , I came across this article "Should you be invited to my wedding" -This article has a quiz for couples to take to see if there friends/people they are inviting to the wedding should "make the cut".

The Ten Questions are below:

1) Name the city I'm living in now (Good one to weed folks out, especially if you have moved a lot. Don't use this if you've lived in the same place for 10 years).
2) Name at least two of my closest friends.
3) Name my current employer and my past employer (Again, if you've remained in the same job for 15 years, this does not apply).
4) Do I have any kids?
5) Do you know the name of my fiance? Bonus question: Where and when did we meet?
6) Do you know where my parents are and whether they are still alive? (Imagine a friend at your wedding asking how long have your parents been married when they divorced years ago).
7) Name at least two of my hobbies.
8) How old am I? (My favorite is when family friends would query, 'Are you 28 now?" Imagine their surprise when I proclaimed, 'yeah, 10 years ago!')
9) Where did I go to college? (Some people might not remember whether you attended college or even graduated.)
10) Name my last boyfriend before this engagement. Bonus question: if you can name the last two and why we broke up. If you get the bonus question right, that might automatically get you in.

--So how did you do? Do you think these are fair questions, could all your guests have answered these? FI and I feel that there are a few very good questions, however some of them would be hard for our parents friends to answer--and since we allowed each set of parents to invite 20 people, those would probably be the only ones would would have trouble. Personally, I don't think a quiz is necessary it is each couples personal decision, but the quiz is an interesting way to look at it!
