We get it, you’re newly engaged and until this point you and your fiancé have been in a lovely little bubble! But now the pressure is on to start planning the big day and anxiety surrounding the guest list is kicking in. Creating your wedding guest list can be one of the most stressful parts of the whole wedding planning process. In the ideal world, you’d have no limit on numbers and would be able to invite all your loved ones, but for most couples, this isn’t the case.
Now that the pressure is on, we share 8 essential tips to make sure you’ll be well on your way to creating the perfect day.
Start by sitting down with your fiancée to discuss your wedding goals. What sort of wedding would you like to have as a couple? Do you want to have an intimate wedding with close friends and family or you want to have an extravagant wedding? How many people will your ceremony and venue hold? What is your budget?
We recommend discussing this before starting on your wedding guest list as it will help you stick to the amount of people you invite and celebrate your union your way!
Once you and your partner feel like you’re on the same page, it’s time to consider your budget. Unfortunately, every couple will have one and as you continue the planning process, you’ll find that the budget massively influences your final decisions. The longer the guest list the more expensive the wedding will be.
While it would be amazing if you could invite everyone you know, majority of couples just cannot afford it. Therefore, you’ll want to spend some time together figuring out how much you would like to spend on this day.
If you’re hosting your wedding reception at a venue that has a minimum charge per person, then this will be your influencer. These decisions can be tricky, so try and communicate with your fiancé so you’re not sacrificing your big day.
