Advice for writing wedding guest list!

27 replies

Potatopotate · 20/01/2022 20:35

We are having a small garden wedding in the summer, and numbers are limited by the fact that we only have one toilet!

What would be the maximum number of people you would invite to the wedding?

Also where would you draw the line, e.g. invite aunties and uncles but not cousins? Even cousins you see a couple of times a year? Invite friends but not partners unless partners are also friends?

In an ideal world I would like to invite all family including first cousins, and friends along with their families. However, this doesn't seem possible.

How would you go about narrowing down the list? Are there rules or standards?

Could you have two sittings as it were? One ceremony with family and one with friends?

We couldn't really, the registry office part is a formality and the ceremony we are having in the garden is our proper one. Groom's family are coming from further away so will be staying with us. It will be a short ceremony followed by a party, all in the garden.
