Determine Your Wedding Size
Start by deciding on the approximate number of guests you want to invite. This will depend on factors such as your wedding venue, budget, and personal preferences!
Make a Master List
Begin by listing all the people you and your partner would like to invite. This includes immediate family, extended family, close friends, and any other important people in your lives. Don't worry about the final count at this stage - just get all the names down!

Prioritize Your Guests
Once you have your master list, start prioritizing your guests. Divide them into categories such as "must-invite," "would like to invite," and "maybe." This will help you determine who should be on the final guest list!

Consider Plus-Ones & Children
Decide whether you will allow guests to bring a plus-one or their children! This can significantly increase your guest count, so be mindful of your budget and venue capacity.
Trim the List
Review your prioritized list and start trimming it down to fit your desired guest count. Be prepared to make tough decisions, but remember that it's your wedding, and you should invite the people who are most important to you!
Communicate with Your Partner
Throughout the process, communicate with your partner to ensure you're both on the same page with the guest list. Compromise and find a balance that works for both of you!
