Who should be on your guest list for your wedding?

The best advice would be to make a list of people in order of priority.

Other family members like aunts, uncles, cousins and close friends.
Parent’s closest friends and good friends that you work with.
distant relatives that you feel you have to invite, even though you don’t see them often.
Friends that you haven’t seen in a while, but that you would like to attend your wedding.
Reciprocal Invitations – relatives and friends that have invited you to their weddings.
Work associates, colleagues, bosses, close neighbours and friends of your siblings that you are close to.

Once you have established the list of guests that you would like to invite to your wedding, you will have an idea of the number of people that will invite to your wedding. From here you can start planning the rest of your wedding.

Bride’s list of guests to invite
Groom’s list of guests to invite
Bride’s parent’s list of guests to invite
Groom’s parent’s list of guests to invite

Please note:

The final number of guests at your wedding should include any service providers that will attend.

These will typically include the following people:
