How many people should I invite to my wedding?

1/5/2023

0 Comments

 
When it comes to planning your wedding, one of the biggest decisions you'll have to make is how many people to invite. After all, your guest list will not only affect the overall atmosphere of your big day, but it will also play a major role in determining your budget and venue choices. So, how do you decide on the perfect number of guests? Here are a few factors to consider as you make this important decision:

1. Budget

Your budget is likely one of the most significant constraints on your guest list. The more people you invite, the more you'll have to spend on things like food, drinks, favors, and possibly even a larger venue. If you have a smaller budget, you may need to limit your guest list in order to have the wedding of your dreams.

2. Venue size: ​

Your venue will play a big role in determining how many people you can invite. If you have your heart set on a small, intimate venue, you may not be able to accommodate a large guest list. On the other hand, if you're planning a grand affair at a spacious venue, you'll have more flexibility when it comes to the number of guests.

3. Relationship with guests:

Another important factor to consider is your relationship with your potential guests. Are you inviting people just because you feel obligated to do so, or because you genuinely want them to be there to celebrate your special day? It's important to focus on the people who are truly important to you and your partner, rather than trying to please everyone.

4. Personal preferences:

Ultimately, the number of guests you invite should be based on what you and your partner want. Do you envision a small, intimate ceremony with just a few close friends and family members, or a larger celebration with all of your extended family and friends? Consider your personal preferences and what will make you and your partner happiest on your big day.

So, how many people should you bring to your wedding? There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It really depends on your budget, venue size, relationship with your guests, and personal preferences. The most important thing is to make a guest list that reflects your values and priorities, and that allows you to have the wedding of your dreams.

What's the Difference Between Wedding Invitations and Save the Date Cards?

1/4/2023

Wedding invitations and save the date cards serve two different purposes in the wedding planning process but where do they come in to play? It's important to understand the difference between the two so you can properly plan for your big day.

Wedding Invitations

​Wedding invitations are the formal announcement of your wedding that provides all the important details of the ceremony and reception. This includes the date, time, location, and dress code of the wedding. Wedding invitations are typically sent out 6-8 weeks before the wedding and are addressed to each guest individually.

Save the Dates

​Save the date cards, on the other hand, are a less formal announcement that gives your guests advance notice of your wedding. They are usually sent out 6-12 months before the wedding and include the date and location of the wedding. Save the date cards are not addressed to specific guests and are more of a heads-up for your friends and family to mark their calendars and start making travel arrangements.
​
It's important to note that save the date cards are not a replacement for wedding invitations. They are simply a way to give your guests a heads up about your upcoming nuptials. Wedding invitations should still be sent out closer to the actual wedding date to provide all the necessary details about the ceremony and reception.

​In summary, wedding invitations are the formal announcement of your wedding that includes all the important details, while save the date cards are a less formal way to give your guests advance notice of your wedding. Both serve important roles in the wedding planning process and should be included in your communication strategy.
