Questions to Ask Before You Invite Someone to Your Wedding

Whether you’re envisioning a lavish affair under the stars or an intimate ceremony in a small setting, you’ll need to choose how many people to invite to your wedding day. As you may have guessed, it’s a little more complicated than simply making a list of everyone you’d like to be there. Talk about a tough decision! Narrowing down the guest list is one of the most stressful parts of planning weddings in Reno.

Before anything else, sit down with your partner to start the guest list. Begin with your immediate families and then add those close family members you really want to have there. These people will make the cut no matter what. From there, make a secondary list of people you’d like to have there, but you’re not sure. You’re going to ask yourselves a few questions about each person or couple:

Is this person a Positive Influence on My Life?

Did I Attend Their Wedding?

When Was the Last Time I Saw Them?

Do I Spend Holidays and Special Occasions With Them?

Do We Tell Each Other Happy Birthday?

Do I Know About Their Day-to-Day Life?

Can I Realistically Expect to See Them Again?

The answers to these questions will help you narrow down your list even further. This is your special day, and you should only be surrounded by people who have a vested interest in your life and your relationship.

The Biggest Factor

The amount of people you ultimately end up inviting to your wedding will depend on a few factors. The Knot reminds us that without a doubt, the biggest determining factor is your wedding budget. Weddings in Reno can get costly pretty quick.

The more people who attend your wedding, the more costly the event will be. For this reason, the funds you have available for your wedding will directly impact the number of guests you can invite. Begin by evaluating your wedding budget to get a general understanding of how that number matches up with the prices of food and drinks.
