Is there any appropriate phrase to say "big families"? included my own family (father, mother), my aunt's family, my uncle's family, grandma, grandpa etc.?

So, how will you use that "extended family", example when you want to tell someone that, the whole "big family" attended the party. Can I say: "Our whole extended family attended John's wedding"?– NkwamaNov 28, 2013 at 3:59

1Just to expand on this correct answer, extended family is the accepted English term for a family grouping including more than just the parents and their children (which is known as the nuclear family). Nov 28, 2013 at 2:12
