How to Create your Wedding Guest List

Deciding who to invite or better yet, who is going to get upset about not getting an invite, is the most stressful part when planning your wedding.

I have thought about this for weeks and weeks trying to create a strategy to narrow down the guest list so that it will fit venue occupancy and wedding budget. Aaaaand, I believe I have got it!

So, lets get started!

First, you put together your entire list, anyone and everyone you, your parents, fiance, fiances’ parents can think of to invite to your wedding.

Secondly, you form two lists- the A and B list.

The A list consists of immediate family and close friends. The A list is the list of people who without a doubt will be invited to the wedding.

Then, everyone else goes into the B list.

Now that you have your B list, you take each person and follow the flow diagram below.

This make take several times going through the diagram until you have your final wedding guest list count. I hope this helps and if you have any suggestions on how to make this better, please let me know!

I sent a picture of a scribbled diagram on a piece of paper to my good friend, April Hackney, and she sent this back. She is so talented and can do pretty much anything! (you would believe me if you saw the drawing I sent her).

If you need anyone to create a sign or draw up something cute, she is the girl you need! Her social accounts on facebook and instagram are Charming Chalk Shop.
