Planning Your Guestlist

Left on Wed

Jan 17 2024 • 20 mins

It’s time to roll out the red carpet and write down who you want part of your picture perfect day.

  • Do I invite my best friends new boyfriend?
  • What about Uncle John with the iPad?
  • Do we invite Jen and Sam because we went to their wedding 4302 years ago?
  • What about dads best friend from highschool?

Picking and choosing your guestlist can be a difficult task and easy to procrastinate and have a lot of doubt over. We haven’t even got to the seating chart yet so first, let’s look at what the venue will allow for space and if that per head cost is something we can afford. Planning your guest list is a task that above all, requires communication, and compromise with your partner as you juggle family expectations, plus ones and also won’t someone think of the children?

If you'd like to give guests a gentle reminder that your wedding is an adults and newborn babies only event, here's a little poem we've found just for you

Our families and friends are all invited, there really is a lot.
As much as we love children, it will be adults only as we tie the knot.
If they are a baby that is bottle or breast fed (Optional)
At your discretion, you could tuck them up in bed (Optional)
You could bring them to the reception, it's completely up to you (Optional)
Remember the music is loud, new sounds, smells and people too (Optional)
You'll have the weekend free, a new adventure to explore.
It'll be endless food and drinking as well as dancing galore.

Did you know the With Joy app has a free guest list planner? Here it is here.
