the dreaded guest list

9 times out of 10 our brides tell us that creating the guest list is the worst part of wedding planning. We would have to agree. “Aunt Marge’s sister’s step cousin who JUST had a baby, they HAVE to be invited because they are friends with Uncle George’s half brother and you know how Uncle George is.” Ok, so maybe not that extreme, but stressful nonetheless!

A few suggestions:
- Do you have this person’s phone number in your cell phone?
- Have you had a meaningful conversation with said invitee within the past year?
- Don't feel obligated to invite people who invited you to their wedding… things
change
- If your single friend isn’t seeing anyone seriously, you don’t have to include
"and guest"
- If your big day would not be complete without Mr. XYZ then invite him! Even if he
lives in Australia
- Co-workers: all or none works best- unless you have a small department or you
socialize often outside of work
- Always remember that it is YOUR day

Rule of thumb: About 20-25% of your guests won’t be able to attend
