Determining the Number of Guests

Anyone who has planned a wedding recognizes that the guest list can quickly grow to enormous proportions. At some point we will all feel like we are reliving the scene from “Father of Bride” with our “A” list and our “B” list. . . Those that will come and those that we will invite knowing, to our great relief, that they probably won’t come.

There are three things that determine the size of the guest list:

The number of friends (in this case the fewer the better J).
The space available at both the ceremony site and the reception site.
Your budget. (Depending on the time day, your location, and the food you are serving a meal will cost $16.00 - $60.00 a plate.) It is traditional for the bride and groom to invite the same number of people. But with the commonsense approach, if the bride’s family has twice as many relatives, friends, and acquaintances and the budget can support them, then, I say, by all means, invite everyone who will share your joy. If there is a budget or space limitations then you might have to instill a few rules. Some of these might be:

Not allowing babies, or young children, unless these children play an important part in your life.
Invite colleagues and neighbors to the ceremony only, and not to the reception.
Begin your list by listing the people that are closet to you and then working toward the outer edges of your social group.
If it is important to you to have everybody celebrate with you, consider changing the style so that it is affordable to celebrate with more people. You might consider having a cake and punch reception for everyone, and then a smaller, intimate reception for those that are closest to you.
