Wedding Invites

After you drop down from the high of telling everyone you are engaged, you have to get to work planning that special day. Regardless of how big the wedding will be, you will still have the responsibility of making your invite list. And no matter how many people you plan on having, I guarantee you will have to make the tough decision of figuring out who to leave off—and then letting them know. It’s never easy, but making sure you do the proper thing is important as it will cut down on bruised feelings.

Invite Who You Want

Your wedding is, YOUR wedding. Not your parents’, not your friends’, not your families’, but your own. Bottom line, if someone isn’t nice to you, don’t invite them. Think of a guest list as a college paper. You remember those days right? You have the long list of notes with facts and points you want to add, but you have to narrow the list down to the ones that will make the paper an A+. And with your wedding, you’ll want to invite the guests who will make the day as special and fun as possible.

When it comes to weighing which friends you should invite, think of those who would appreciate being there and be happy for you. Your wedding is not a time to pay people back or make others happy, despite your own conscience.

Don’t Invite Unwanted Coworkers

This one is usually the number one issue people have when planning their wedding. Do you invite the coworkers and boss? Sit down and think about all the people you work directly with–the ones you see every day. Then think to yourself, “If I was going out for dinner, would I invite this person?” When you use this methodology, it will really help shape your ideas of who should be invited.

You Don’t Have to Invite Everyone with a Date

Deciding if you should invite someone with a date can really make your numbers add up to grand proportions. And sometimes when you invite someone with a date, they feel burdened with having to go find one. A lot people have this problem because they may have a friend who is dating someone and said friend feels they should be invited. Guess what, they shouldn’t.

If they are married, engaged, living together, or have dated for more than six months, they get invited. Anything aside from that, it’s a no. When you have to tell someone their date is not invited, state your rules. Even if they put up a fight, still let your friend know that’s the rule you and your fiancé decided on. It’s cut and dry and across the board and the only way to make it fair.
