Cousins?

So we're trying to finalize the guest list, without really knowing what the costs for the reception will be - kinda crazy, huh? My philosophy is, we'll figure out how many people we want to invite and/or will be coming, and then figure out how much we can spend on dinner from there. Hmm. Well, we'll make it work, I'm sure.

I'm a bit worried about the guest list in one particular area - cousins. I want to invite the cousins that I am close to, or was close to growing up, but I understand that a lot of them won't be able (or won't want) to spend the time and money to travel out here. My mom said not to bother inviting most of my cousins from her side, Marci being the exception. But I'm worried that they'll feel left out or neglected. Well, I just hope someone says something if they're expecting or wanting an invitation, so I'll know.

So Denise (or anyone else out there reading), if you have addresses for Megan, Tara or Krissy, I'm missing those.

So you're planning to invite anyone who plans or wants to come, so why not invite everyone? How much are those invitations apiece? Mostly it's a futile effort sure but that way everyone is included. Let's see....
The Watchii:
Marci (+ 1?)
Bobby
Justin (@home?)
Adam + Leigh
Dan (@home?)
Michelle + 2?
Kelly + 4
Nash
Angie + 3
Sammy (@home)
Austin (@home)
Michael (prison, so no, maybe Maria)
Chris +3
Josh
Jesse
Elijah (@home)
Jacqueline (@home)
Lauren and Brendan if you are feeling really inclusive.

and the Berringers
Brian
Amy
Megan
Kris +3
Kim +3
Tara + 1
Ben (@home-ish)
Kate (@home)

So it's less than 20 extra invitations and I would not consider it very likely that the Singletons would be schlepping guests cross-country for the shindig if they do come, and the kids aren't costing us full price even if they bring them, am I right? What's the Riddle cousin scenario? Let's get it all out there. :)

should I send them invites but not save-the-dates? Or both? I need addresses!! I don't have any of these!!

I was planning on inviting the Berringers, I thought it more likely they'd come.
