Keep the 18. Our goal was no more than 50, and we managed it because we invited immediate family ONLY and left it at that. This did include and aunt and uncle each, but if you've got numerous ones, cut 'em all out, and explain that you want a small ceremony, and it was easier to keep it to parents and siblings than to choose who to leave out because you love them all soooooo much (probably shouldn't use my sarcasm there).
