Creating Your Wedding Guest List

In this video, we dive into one of the most challenging parts of wedding planning: creating your guest list. Balancing your desire to include everyone important with the reality of your budget can be tough, but we’ll guide you through the process step-by-step. We’ll start by drafting an initial guest list that includes everyone you'd love to invite, and then help you make thoughtful decisions on how to narrow it down, ensuring that your final list fits within your budget and priorities.

You’ll also learn how to use the wedding budget calculator to determine your catering costs based on the number of guests and cost-per-plate estimates. From there, we’ll explore different approaches for trimming your list and adjusting your budget to create the perfect balance between inclusivity and affordability.

By the end of this video, you’ll feel more confident about managing your guest list and ensuring it aligns with both your vision and budget.
