Guest list

[Kacie_bride]

I am having so much trouble with my guest list. My mother wants a count of people because she says we need to start invitation shopping. She wants to start early because we want to shop around and see what kind of deals we can find. The problem is guest list I have right now has like 350 people on it. We both have such big families and a lot of friends. I have cut down all I think I can cut. Some of my friends are not even going to be invited. I am only inviting all my first cousins and my aunts and uncles. I'm not even getting into second cousins or great aunts or anything like that. But Justin has about 100 family members down on his list! I have 50. We need to cut about 100 people off of that list and that is a lot to cut down. We were thinking of inviting around 250 people. This is a huge problem and the thing is, I can't hardley get him to sit down with me to do it! He keeps saying "I've been working really hard and I just feel vegging out tonight!" I know he just doesn't want to knock off of his list. But I don't know what he thinks. I guess he thinks we will just decide to invite more people or what!

If you can try to break down the people you absolutly have to have and the people you would really like to have their.
If you think you are going to be inviting 250 people get prices for the number of invitations you would need for them. Then figure out how much you could afford with everyone you'd like to invite and then for a smaller number.
You can chose a couple different designs from different price variations so when it comes down to when you know how many you will be sending out you can choose the one that best fits you're budget.
Good Luck!
