Start with a preliminary list
Begin by creating a preliminary list of all the people you would like to invite to your wedding. Start with the most important people, such as immediate family and close friends, and work your way down the list.
Set a budget
Your budget will play a big role in determining the number of guests you can invite to your wedding. Once you have set a budget, you can start prioritizing your guest list accordingly.
Consider your venue
The size of your venue will also dictate the number of guests you can invite. Make sure to check the capacity of your venue before finalizing your guest list.

Create categories
Categorize your guests into groups, such as family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. This will help you prioritize your list and ensure that you invite the most important people.
Be strict
Don't feel obligated to invite everyone you know. Be strict with your guest list and only invite the people who are most important to you.
Consider a B-list
If you are struggling to keep your guest list within your budget, consider creating a B-list. This list should include guests who you would like to invite should others decline in a timely manner.
Creating a wedding guest list can be a difficult and stressful task, but with these tips, you can ensure that your special day is filled with the people you love and cherish. Remember, your wedding day is about celebrating your love, so make sure to surround yourself with the people who matter most.
