I'm sure you and Mr.
Right have spent countless hours discussing your guest list and as each day
passes you seem to remember another “special” person that you just have
to put on the list. Before you know it your small intimate wedding has turned
into a 300+ person event and you immediately feel stressed and overwhelmed, but
how do you cut the list? If you really want to give your guests an unforgettable
event without breaking the bank, then give yourself a limit and STICK TO IT! If
your seating 100 guests, then break it down. His parents have 20 seats they can
fill, not 20 invitations....big difference. Your parents have between 20-30
seats to fill, you will want to offer them a few more seats especially if they
are financially contributing to your wedding. That leaves roughly 50-60 seats
for your close, supportive friends. If it has been more than 8 months since you
have either seen or spoken to some of your “friends” then they should not
be invited. Again focus on those people that are supportive of your
relationship, instead of those just coming for the open bar.
This may take a group
effort but the end result will be worth it. Just take it one step at a time.
Happy
Planning!
