How to make a wedding guest list

  1. Know your number first

    Start with your venue's capacity and the headcount your budget allows, so the list is built to fit the room, not the other way round.

  2. Write everyone down

    Each of you lists everyone you'd like there, without judging yet. Then sort them by side and by family, friends and work.

  3. Agree on plus-ones and kids

    Pick one rule for each and apply it to everyone, so nobody feels singled out. Count the plus-ones and kids as you go: they add up fast.

  4. Trim to fit, then track replies

    Over capacity? Work through one group at a time. Once the list fits, keep it somewhere you can send invitations and track RSVPs.
