Inviting everyone you have ever met to celebrate your exchanging of vows may be your dream wedding -- but realistically your guest list will most likely have to be pared down.
Who you invite and don't invite can potentially cause hurt feelings, so consider a few helpful hints when making your list.
First, use your budget to determine the number of guests you'll be able to accomodate.
Then, you and your fiance should each make a list of who must be invited to the wedding. After you have combined your lists, consider who, if anyone needs to be cut.
Here are a few tips on cutting the guest list:
Make categories, i.e. aunts and uncles or work associates. If you need to cut numbers, cut entire categories. For instance, all second cousins or work associates with whom you've never socialized would be on the B list and only added if there is room for the whole group.
You do not need to invite everyone who has invited your parents in the past.
Remember: if you invite someone to a shower or engagement party, they must also be invited to the wedding.
Your wedding should be a time of celebration and joy with those who are closest to you and your fiancée. While you don't want to cause any hurt feelings, your wedding is really about you as a couple starting your lives together and whoever you want to share that with should be invited.
