WHO SHOULD YOU INVITE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

Making a preliminary guest list:

In arriving at the number of guests, keep in mind the style or formality of the wedding, your budget (do you want to invite fewer guests to an elaborate set-down dinner with an open bar or be able to invite more people and have a less elaborate reception?), and space (will the ceremony and reception site be able to accommodate all of your guests?).

There are various ways to determine how many guests to invite. Usually the bride’s family and the groom’s family each invite half of the guests. If one family is away from their hometown, one family may have fewer guests to invite. Another alternative it to split the list into thirds (if the bride and groom are from the same hometown) with the couple providing a third, then the bride’s
family gets a third and the groom’s family gets a third. As a general rule, 20% to 25% of invited guest will be unable to attend. If you were unable to invite the guests you would have liked due to the space or your budget, you can sent out more invitations when you begin receiving regrets.

Once you have decided upon your guest list, begin to compile the names, addresses of your guests.
