When you start planning a wedding, then, of course, sooner or later you come to the discussion of the question: who to invite to the celebration. This is a very difficult question, since it often results in a large number of disagreements between the bride and groom. Also, parents often add fire to this problem, who certainly want to invite their colleagues and old friends to brag about what wonderful children they have.
It is important to know the basic rules to help you create a guest list and avoid problem situations:
1. We count. You need to calculate how many guests your budget is designed for. After that, you leave 50% of the places on the list for your friends, and give 25% to each pair of parents. Be sure to clearly inform your parents how many guests they can invite.
2. Sorting. Let's start forming a complete list. At the beginning we put a group of those who are your closest relatives (mom, dad, brother, sister, etc.), the next group will include your close friends, then you can list all the others.
3. We clean. We always start working with the list from the end. It is advisable if you decide that you need to reduce the list of people by ten, then it is better to do this in groups, for example, "colleagues from work", "distant relatives", so that it would not be offensive to those who from these subgroups still got to the celebration in as invited guests.
4. Checking. Whenever you decide whether to invite a person or not, doubt arises. Remember, if you have communicated with a person during the year, then feel free to invite him to the celebration. If the connection was lost and you hardly remembered him, then you should not even consider his presence at the wedding.
5. Rule "+1". Remember that guests tend not to come alone, and this point also plays an important role in making your list. Otherwise, a situation may occur that there will be one and a half times more guests than you invited.
6. Blacklist is also needed. It is necessary if there are people in your environment whom you do not want to see at the wedding.
