4 Tips on Choosing Your Wedding Guests

4 Tips on Choosing Your Wedding Guests

Are you making a wedding guests list? Don’t know who to add or who to leave out? It’s simple if only you don’t overthink it. Here are ways to make writing a  list for your wedding reception easier.

·      Think About Your Budget

Hey, no matter who may get hurt in the end, remember that your bank account CANNOT become empty. If you are trying to work around a budget, you should invite the minimum number of guests.

Make it an intimate affair with only your closest family and your best buddies. This way, you can rent a smaller venue to fit your guests’ size and fit into your budget!

·      Don’t Overthink It

Be honest; you don’t get invited to the weddings of all the people you know. Do you get upset? Maybe a little, and then you get over it.

The truth is you can’t invite everybody you know to attend your wedding. So stop overthinking about which aunty will get hurt or which colleague will feel left out.

It’s your wedding and your rules. Don’t sweat it and end up ruining your mood or feeling overly anxious.

·      Have a Sit down with Your Partner and Make the Guests’ List 50-50

You and your partner will have to ‘share’ the guest’s list. You must learn the concept of sharing because not all family members will make it into that list. Be reasonable and considerate.

·      Get Expert Advice

You can always seek help from a professional wedding planner if you are still confused about what to do about your wedding guests’ list.

Hire a planner that you can trust and communicate your opinions and worries. Just make sure you can reach an understanding with them before and after signing any agreement.
