Making a Wedding Guest List

It’s never too early in the wedding planning process to start talking about your guest list. Before you start verbally inviting people, it’s a good idea to sit down with your fiancé and answer the following questions.

What are your imagine?

First, you and your fiancé should be on the same page. Have you always imagined of a small intimate wedding, or an enormous celebration?

Who is so significant that you can’t imagine getting married without them there?

It’s a good idea at this phase to start counting family and your closest friends. If you have 60 indispensable invites, you should probably forget about the charming chapel that only seats 50.

Who is absolutely not welcome?

If you’re uncomfortable with ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends coming, children or business acquaintances, even if your fiancé is on friendly terms with them, speak up now.

The next phase is deciding how many invitations to give to each of your parents. Usually, the invitations are divided evenly between the two families. Nevertheless, if the bride and groom share the same group of friends, you may choose to give each of your parents a third of the invitations, reserving a third for yourselves.

Your wedding planner can be as involved as you want!
