When Grooms get Engaged

Episode 4 - Creating a (Rough) Wedding Headcount

Listen Later

The wedding guest list is one of the most important things to nail down early as it will impact a lot of future decisions and heavily impact the budget. On this weeks episode, Steven and Chris discuss how they thought about their own guest lists, how the number evolved over time, and what considerations they may have had to make to friends and family.


Topics discussed:

  • Family and friend consideration - are there people that you have to invite? Are you giving unlimited plus 1s?
  • Child free vs children allowed.
  • Grouping people into lists.
  • Being realistic on % of invites that actually will show up - its different for in town, vs out of state, vs destination.
  • Understanding that you will get people that won't be able to show up.
  • Try to invite people that you want to be there and not just fill a seat or people that you are inviting expecting to say no.
