Answer To Every Wedding Guest List Question

Choosing which friends and family to invite to your wedding can be tough. The best way to tackle this wedding to-do item is to add EVERYONE to the list and then narrow it down. It would be great if everyone could come but let’s be realistic, most budgets just don’t allow that. And honestly, having too many people at your wedding isn’t a good idea because you just won’t have time to enjoy them.

Keeping it real, the toughest part is choosing who to eliminate from the list. The best way to cut down your wedding guest list is to discuss it as a couple, talk about what each person means to you, the last time you spoke to them and how cutting them out will affect you and them. We don’t want you to hurt anyone’s feelings so you have to be thoughtful, yet tough.

So, let’s figure out how to keep your wedding guest list to a minimum and invite only the most adored friends and family.

Here are some helpful tips for making your guest list.

  1. Design your “dream” guest list
  2. Be realistic about the number of guests
  3. Make some cutting rules (and stick to them)

A few suggestions:

The Three Year Rule – If neither of you has spoken to them in 3 years (& their not family), don’t invite them

You Don’t Know Me Rule -Haven’t spoken to them or heard their name before, they don’t make the cut! Don’t let your parents pressure you to include people you don’t know (unless of course, they are footing the bill)

Adults Only Rule – Do you prefer to have an adults-only wedding? This is a great way to cut down the list.

Tit for Tat Rule – Don’t invite people just because they invited you. There is no 

4. Avoid last-minute add on’s. There will always be a few people you meet while you are planning your wedding or friends from the past that resurface. Fight the urge to invite them! This is a sure-fire way to blow your budget!
