As you know, Indian weddings are elaborate affairs thus preparing a guest list or deciding who all to invite requires a lot of planning & consultation among family members. A wedding guest list will decide the further planning of budgeting, venue, food, and gifts. Since a wedding is considered to be a once in a lifetime moment you don’t want to miss out on your near and dear ones.
Before preparing a wedding guest list you and your fiance along with family members should discuss whether to keep it an intimate affair of just close friends and family or you want to invite hundreds of friends and extended family members. Sharing a few inputs to keep in mind while preparing the wedding checklist :
- You can prepare the wedding list in two parts: First part consisting of people who are dear to you and you can’t imagine your marriage without them. The second list consists of names you can think of inviting if you wish to exceed the count of guests.
- You should keep two months to send the invites even if you want to invite personally.
- For a destination wedding or if you are inviting guests from abroad then invites need to be sent as soon as you have finalized the date and venue. It can be e-invites also. This will help you keep a record of RSVP’S for the final reservation along with this it will be helpful to guests in getting their visa approvals.
- For RSVP’s you can hire a reputed wedding planner such as ConWedd to take further follow ups and make personalized arrangements for guests. Wedding planner such as Conwedd has organized many destination & local weddings, thus they know how to take care of your guest’s.
- In today’s time, try to use google sheets or Excel sheets to keep the track of guests names and other details such as address & phone no. Traditional ways such as writing on paper have chances of getting lost or doing changes that makes it untidy.
- Do not send out mass invites on social media nor invite guests verbally as both will confuse. All the arrangements might get disturbed. The best way is to send invite personally to only those you want to invite.
- Children & Plus ones account for a person as this count might add up to the count you didn’t expect so always keep these numbers accounted.
