Ok To Invite Uncles But Not Cousins?

I have A LOT of cousins, and they are married with kids! I haven`t talked to many of them in years. My aunts and uncles however, are very close to my parents, and to me as well.
Can I get away with not inviting the younger generation and use those 50+ seats for friends who are closer to me than cousins and their spouses/kids are? What would/did/are you do/ing?
Thanks!

If I were you, I wouldn`t bother inviting the people I`m not close to. Just invite the aunts and uncles if that is what you want.

My cousin recently got married and only invited close family, i was not one of those people, but still felt a little insulted because I wasn`t invited. After all, I invited her to my wedding. : (

I would at least invite them.
If you all really aren`t that close chances are they won`t come anyway.

I know it may be harsh, but think of it this way: You will be paying for people at the reception that you don`t want at the wedding. But that`s my advice.

Invite them they probably won`t show up anyway..this way you won`t step on any toes.
