Planning The Guest List


Here are some questions to consider when planning your guest list:

*What kind of atmosphere do we want at our wedding and reception?
*Do we want to invite only close friends and relatives, or acquaintances too?
*How much seating will be available in our chosen venues?
*Do we plan on having a dinner reception, and how many people can we afford to feed? (Is anyone helping to fund this wedding, and what is their budget?)
*Are both the bride and groom satisfied with the size and the people included on the guest list?
*Are we keeping in mind that not everyone will come that we invite?
*Is the list becoming so big that it is causing too much stress?
*Are we able to accommodate people that need to travel in for the wedding (hotel,etc.)?
*Are we both able to make some compromises?

Remember, you can tweak the guest list all the way up until you actually send out the invitations, if necessary.
