10 Wedding Planning Secrets Every Bride Should Know - Part 9 of 10



SECRET #9
WATCH THE SIZE OF YOUR GUEST LIST
 
     You don’t have to invite each and every person you know to the wedding. It is totally understandable if you wish to invite only close friends and family. The number of guests you invite will have the largest impact on the total overall wedding costs.

More guests mean
·         More invitations
·         A more spacious venue
·         Higher food and beverage costs
·         A bigger wedding cake
    
     Create a spreadsheet of everyone you are planning to invite. This would include your friends, family members, and colleagues. Now go thru your list and put a star next to the names of your “High Priority” guests, like family members and very close friends. Now go thru the list and strike out the names of people you can do without at your wedding. Be ruthless and have your fiancé do the same thing then compare your strikes and eliminate any duplicates. Finally, go thru the remaining names and decide whether each name should be invited or not.
