The wedding ceremony and reception guest list is something that could cause a lot of stress for you and your partner if you aren’t prepared. Any elegant ceremony will be even more impactful if the sanctuary that holds the reception is full of loving admirers of the bride and groom. What is listed below is a few things to consider when you put together your wedding guest list.
- Perhaps the most important guests, or potential guests, to the wedding are those with a history with the bride or groom. The ex-significant others will have a significant impact on the feel of the ceremony and reception and it is generally suggested to not send these individuals an invitation.
- When inviting elderly extended family it is important for you to consider their health before sending the invitation. It may be unreasonable to expect some people to leave home and come to a wedding when they feel absolutely horrible.
- Extended family members invitations should be gauged by how the bride or groom, depending on the family being invited, feels about the particular person. If you have no real relationship in a communication sense then it probably isn’t necessary for you to invite them as it will be added cost and convenience.
