There are so many delicate aspects of wedding planning—including but not limited to: putting together your wedding guest list. On this segment of The Marc and Mandy Show: Party Planning With The Pros, Celebrity Event PlannerMindy Weiss gives advice for making a guest list for weddings.
Consider: Budget
This factor, in conjunction with the logistics of your venue, will govern the size of your guest list. If you’re not sure where to start, begin by factoring in your cost-per-head and go from there. Ensure you have determined and agreed upon a budget well before you begin making up your guest list.
Consider: Location
Again, this factor will decide the size of your guest list. You want to ensure you are inviting enough people to fill up your venue, but not so many people that your venue ends up being too crowded to dance and move around in. Ensure you have your venue booked and scoped out well before you begin making up your guest list.
Consider: Significant Others
A useful rule of thumb here is: no ring, no bring. If you’re finding your guest list is becoming much longer than you anticipated, it may be time to reconsider plus ones. It is perfectly reasonable to not invite SOs, particularly if they’re not engaged, not living together, or haven’t been together for very long.
