5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Making the Guest List

When planning your wedding, one of the first things you need to do is make a guest list. This can be a bit challenging, especially if you don’t know where to start. So, here are a few questions to ask yourself to help make the process easier!

·       How Many People Do You Want to Invite?

This is probably the most important question when making your guest list. It would be best if you had a general idea of how many people you want to invite before you can start narrowing down your list.

·       Who Are Your ‘Must-Have’ Guests?

After you’ve decided on a general number, start thinking about who your must-have guests are. These are the people you want to attend your big day more than anyone else.

·       Who Are Your ‘Maybe’ Guests?

Once you’ve sorted your must-have guests, start thinking about the ‘maybe’ guests. Of course, these are the people you’d like to invite, but due to your circumstances, you may not be able to invite them in person. So, what’s the best solution to this?

Well, with the last few years of everyone getting used to online live meetings, no one has to feel left out! You can easily set up all non-attendees on a live stream platform. Even if they’re not there in person, you’ll still see them smile, laugh, clap, and share in your joy!

·       Who Are Your Plus-Ones?

If you’re inviting people in a relationship, you’ll need to decide whether or not to allow them to bring a guest.

This can be a tough decision, but you must consider how many people you’re comfortable having at your wedding.

·       What Is Your Budget?

Another essential factor to consider when making your guest list is your budget. Weddings can be expensive, and you must ensure you can afford to invite everyone you want. So, consider your budget when making your final guest list.

Making a guest list for your wedding doesn’t have to be complicated. By asking yourself these simple questions, you can narrow your list and ensure you only invite the people you want there. Do you still need help, though? We’re always here to help!
