The Perfect Guest List.

It's no secret that weddings can be expensive. Between the cost of the venue, food, attire, and all the little details, it's easy to rack up a bill larger than your wedding budget. One way to save some money is by trimming down your guest list. But how do you know who to invite and who to leave off? Here are a few tips to help you create the perfect guest list for your big day.

Start by making a list of everyone you would like to invite. This may seem like a simple task, but it can quickly become complicated. Do you want to invite distant cousins? What about your college roommate? Make sure to invite close family and friends, as well as important people from your fiance's life. Don't forget about out-of-town guests - make sure to include their travel information and accommodations.

Narrow down the list by considering your budget and the size of your venue. A wedding planner can be a big help in this process, as they will have experience dealing with these types of logistics. Ultimately, the goal is to make sure that everyone on your list feels like they are part of your special day.

Once you have your final guest list, you can begin sending out invitations. Wedding invitations typically go out six to eight weeks before the big day, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get them in the mail. And don't forget to include a RSVP card. It’s crucial that you follow up with any guests who haven't responded yet as well. 

Now that you know how to create the perfect guest list for your wedding, it’s time to get started! The sooner you start, the more likely you are to have all of your desired guests on the list. Don’t forget to keep in mind our tips for avoiding last-minute drama and stress. And finally, don’t be afraid to ask for help from friends and family members – they want your wedding to be perfect just as much as you do! Follow these steps and soon you’ll be married with a guest list that everyone will love.
