One of the most crucial duties in wedding planning is making a guest list, which must be finished before anything else. Knowing the number of guests you’ll be hosting will help you decide on the location and stick to your budget. However, choosing which guests to include and exclude from your wedding guest list is a difficult task in and of itself. You’ve come to the right place if you’re engaged and having trouble coming up with a guest list for your intimate wedding that includes not only your immediate family and friends but also your partner’s loved ones, your family’s close friends, and your in-laws’ close friends and relatives. We’re here to assist you in making the ideal wedding guest list.

1. Simple divisions

Divide the guest count among yourself, your partner, your family, and your in-laws first to make sure you’re taking everyone’s preferences into account. You can either allocate a quarter to each person or split it 60/40 between you, your partner, and your families. Also, you can divide your guests in such a way that different events have different guest lists.

2. Excel hi bhadosa hain

Make a list of everyone you’re thinking of inviting to the wedding. Your friends, coworkers, cousins, relatives, family, etc. are all included in this. On your laptop, launch a spreadsheet, and begin entering names. Do not hesitate to list their names if you want them to attend your wedding.

3. Segregate The Mains

Start dividing the top-tier guests once you’ve finished jotting down the names of everyone you’re thinking of inviting. You must invite these individuals to your wedding. Make a separate list of these individuals in the same sheet or a new tab by filtering them out of your master list.

4. Don’t Forget The Budget

At this stage, you must think about your finances to determine whether or not they can support the Master guest list. If not, think about removing certain names (a guidance for doing so is in the blog’s next section). Keep in mind your venue preferences when you make this pick. Check to see if the location you are considering can handle the number of guests you have planned. whether not, pick a larger location and check your budget to see whether you can afford it. You may always invite the A-list and have an intimate wedding if your budget won’t allow for your desired guest list.

5. The Main Part – List by parents

Let’s say you have jotted down the list, and then you see your parents made a list that has crossed all the budget and includes relatives whom you have literally never met in your life! You should engage your parents at this point because you should already have a rough notion of your final guest list. Your parents must double-check your wedding guest list if you didn’t divide the guest count in step 1 to make sure all of their guests are present. Make sure your selections are just and respectful. Maintain a buffer of at least 10 extra guests once you have the final guest list.

6. Time To Send The Invitation 

This important stage will decide who will be on your final wedding guest list. You’ll know how many people you wanted at the wedding would actually be there or not be able to make it once you send out the Save The Dates and wedding invitations and receive RSVPs. As a result, there will be empty spaces that can be filled by visitors that you had to turn away previously.
