![]() ![]() Bridal party – if they are in a relationship then they are to be invited and written on the invitation) 2. ![]() Plus ones are tricky to figure sometimes out but a general rule I like to use is this: 1. From here – set your number of total guests that you can accommodate to build your lists (A, B, and C). It’s most important to look at your budget first and plan to stick to it! Have a conversation with your planner and/or caterer to discuss the cost per person for food and beverage because this is where it’ll be impacted the greatest. Usually once people understand the “price tag” for adding more attendees, they’ll back off. If you’re having issues with parents who aren’t contributing to the budget insisting on you inviting guests who didn’t make your A-List, I’d recommend putting together a true per-person cost including the additional costs I mentioned above and request that, if they insist on including these people, that they contribute the amount to cover their attendance. Each additional guest requires more invitations, more escort cards, more slices of cake, more favors, additional linens, tables, chairs, and centerpieces, and a larger transportation vehicle. Keep in mind that each extra guest doesn’t just add to your food & beverage cost. Matching your guest count to your budget (not just your venue’s capacity) is going to be key for setting yourself up for a successful – and less stressful – wedding planning experience.
