Guest list

Miranda, 20 February, 2023 at 09:17 Posted on Planning 0 2
Hello everyone


Feeling a little stressed regarding the guest list, our wedding is in September and the venue only allows for 60 people during the day then 120 in the evening (we can pay extra for extra people in the day but so far want to leave it quite small) I have quite a large extended family and my fiancé has a large immediate family so we have chosen immediate family and friends to the day, the only problem is his parents and sister (who live abroad) cannot make it Smiley sad and his family here are a bit unpredictable and not sure if they will come on the day! I have some extra people I would like to invite but already sent them evening only invites, is it rude to re ask people to join in the day aswell? I feel it’s like a back up plan?

    Hello,

    I say do what you feel comfortable doing. I have a similar problem. We only have a smallish wedding of 50 people. My partner and I have allocated 24 guests for each side. I've invited mainly friends and he's inviting mainly family. He hasn't decided on all his guests yet as he has a big family and can't fit everyone in which is causing us problems. If he has any spare places or if any of the guests decline after I send out invitations, I will send out to guests in List B. I don't want to waste any of the spaces.

    What RSVP date have you set? I would be clear that you need a definite answer from his family by that date and if they can't decide then unfortunately you will need to remove them from the list.

    If you then add evening guests to the full day I would speak to them over the phone. Then you can explain the situation and that you have some extra day spaces available and although initially you only had space for them to be evening guests, you would really like them to attend all day.
