  • Consider adults only. So many people have children, which is wonderful! However, each child attending your wedding is an additional guest. You can cut your guest list back quite a bit if you consider an adult-only wedding. In addition, this gives the parents a night out without the kids that they can thoroughly enjoy, so it’s a win-win.
  • Consider plus ones. Most often, guests are allowed to bring a guest along with them to a wedding. However, to cut back your guest list, you can limit your plus ones. From being strict with only one plus one to not allowing any at all, the decision is ultimately yours.
  • Consider your list. As you develop your wedding guest list, form two lists. Comprise list “A” of those people who must attending your wedding, such as your closest friends and family members. Then, for list “B”, write down any exclusions that you feel necessary, and have you partner do the same. After you have finished, compare your lists, to ensure that you are both on the same page.
