For some brides, compiling a guest list is relatively simple, especially if you're planning a very small event of close family and friends. For others, deciding on a guest list can become very stressful and emotional, especially if you have a tight wedding budget. When you start to make a list of all you the people you both know, it can quickly get out of hand. Yes, the groom has people he'd like to invite too!

| Wedding Guest List |
A spreadsheet is the easiest way to create and revise a wedding guest list. Start by asking a parent to help you list everyone you can think of and categorize them using different colors. For example, family, high school friends, college friends, lifelong friends, coworkers, close friends of the family, church members, and associates from any groups you may belong to. The groom should do the same. Next, evaluate your budget to determine how many people you can afford to accommodate and start cutting your list. Cutting the guest list is a difficult because you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but staying on budget should remain your priority. If someone stops speaking to you because they weren't invited to your wedding, they probably aren't truly happy for you upcoming nuptials anyway. Once your venue is secured, you'll know how many people it can accommodate, then you can adjust your list accordingly.
