How to choose friends for your Wedding
Planning a wedding can be very stressful. It’s always hard to choose which friends to invite and it can be really frustrating, unless you can afford a huge party. When making your invite list, choosing friends is a delicate process. Always remember it’s your wedding and you have a budget you have stay within. If you’re planning a party in a restaurant with tables divided into separate parts it’s even more frustrating. You never know who should sit next to each other. The best solution is a very long table where everyone sits facing each other.
First you must set your wedding budget. Remember, each guest costs a certain amount of money. Check prices in different restaurants or places you can hold your wedding party at. Estimate how many people can be included in those prices. Estimate how many people are invited of your family. Also check if there’s enough space for chairs for your guests. If there are too many people, it is time to start making cuts. A good rule of choosing people is that if you have not had a meaningful conversation with a person in the past year, they do not make the cut. Another useful rule is that if the person is a co-worker and not a friend that you hang out with outside of work, do not invite them. We don’t have to invite our friend’s friends or their families. You can say on your invitation card that it’s a closed party and no other parties will be allowed to enter the party. Don't feel guilty for not inviting someone, even if they invited you to their wedding. This is not a favor that needs exchange. You can always say to everyone that it is a small party.
Remember that some of the guests may need a place to stay over night. If you can’t afford offering a hotel room for someone think if inviting that person is a good idea (unless they can stay at your place). You don’t want to hold a non-drinking party all night. It’s the right time to celebrate!
