Would it be tacky if most of the guest in our wedding belong to the groom?

he wants a big wedding so he can invite his friends and family (large family and alot of friends), most of my relatives live out of state and probably will not be able to make it and I don't have many friends. I originally wanted a smaller wedding but all of his family and friends are all excited about our wedding and I know he would like them to be present.
 
It's not uncommon for one side of the guests family to be larger than the other. It almost never works out that both sides are even. As long as you feel comfortable having a large wedding, go ahead and invite them.
 
No. Not at all.

I'm a DJ and what I've observed in these situations is that the ushers have the people fill the sides fairly evenly.

No problem.

Have a blessed day!

No

My family lives in another province so most of the guest at our wedding were his family. This is a great time to get to know the people you may not have already met.
 
I have been to several weddings where either the bride or groom is from away and their family can't come. In this case to make it not appear tacky you have guests seated equally on both sides of the church (or whatever the venue), instead of placing bride guests on one side and groom guests on the other.
It wouldn't be right to not let his friends and family who are excited and happy for you attend the wedding.
Plus the more guests the more fun and the more gifts !
 
That's OK. If he has a lot of people on his side and you have fewer on your side, it only makes sense that more guests would be from his side.
 
That's fine. Nothing wrong with it. It's his day too since you aren't marrying yourself so he gets a say in the guestlist as well. Your family may surprise you so don't assume anything. It is perfectly normal for people to travel across the country for a wedding, unless they are under doctor's orders not to leave the house.
 
this is EXACTLY how mine will be. i don't have a huge extended family, only a couple aunts and uncles who will be in attendance - no cousins will be able to make it out. i also don't have many friends. but he's got an enormous family, and they're so excited and every one of them will be coming, and he also has a bunch of friends he's inviting. so the guest list is pretty lopsided, but that's just the way things are. there's no reason to make him cut back his guests just because i don't have as big a family or as many friends as he does... they're important people in his life, and they want to celebrate with us.

besides, you'll get to meet everyone that matters in his life, and he'll be thrilled with it.

the only concern i'm having is how my parents and i are paying for the reception food with that many guests, but we'll make it work. we may even be splitting the cost somewhat with his family, because most of the guests are his. you'll have to decide how to handle this part, but i'm sure you can reconcile how things are working on the financial side of the plans.

good luck!
