WHO SHOULD YOU INVITE!?

We know creating your guest list is not one of your easiest task.

So let's help you ........

Traditionally the guest list is split 50/50. Half for the bride and half for the groom in trying to keep it fair when it comes to guest numbers for each of your families.

However this method does not work for everyone. We suggest starting your guest list by inviting your nearest and dearest and establishing some wedding invitation list rules for you, your fiancé and both families to stick to.

For example first cousins, but not second or spouses and live-in or serious partners, but not random partners.

Another easy way of choosing who to invite especially if you're planning an intimate wedding is to look at who you texted or called within the last three (3) months.

Also there are few things you need to consider:

1️⃣ Your budget and venue size works with compiling your guest list. As each guest number increases so is the number of food, drinks, tables, chairs, decor etc. Your venue may also have a maximum figure of guest it can hold.

2️⃣ Don't verbally invite guests who are not on your original guest list.

3️⃣Remember the bride and groom are to be counted as part of your guest count so don't leave yourselves out when you have a final figure.

4️⃣ Don't forget to include children in your guest numbers if you are inviting them.

5️⃣ State names on your invitations and response cards to avoid guests from squeezing in names.
