How to Keep Your Guest List Under Control
Your wedding is soon approaching and you are wondering who you should invite, who you must invite and who you may invite.
You have found your wedding dress, your wedding flowers, your bridesmaid dresses and you are wondering who to invite to the ceremony.
The food and drinks bill usually account for most of your budget but if you want to cut down on your costs, the most effective way would be to cut down on your guest list.
But how to decide on who to invite and who not to invite. It is not as hard as it seems, if you follow these simple steps:
1.Decide on your budget for the food and drinks bill and work out the number of people you will need to invite to meet this budget.
2.Agree with your fiancé, on the number of guests on your side and on his side.
3.Draw up your list and then allocate a specific number of people to each set of parents (this way you are letting them make the hard decisions about which aunt to invite or which uncle not to invite.
4.You can decide not to invite any children and inform your guests about your "no children" policy.
5.You can decide to invite single guests on their own, especially if they don't aren't in a serious relationship.
6.Think of inviting relatives who you have a close relationship with rather than everyone that is related to you.
7.You can cross off, people who will not be offended if they are not invited to your wedding.
8.Invite only people who are important to you and your parents rather than everyone you know.
