| Once you have decided on the size of the event consider the budget for the reception, there are many costs you may not have considered from the band to the wedding favors and linen rental. The budget will be effected immensely on the reception. Now that you have the size of the wedding and the type of reception you wish start your list. Early on you need to speak with your family and clarify their involvement in the guest list. It is common for me to receive calls asking to add on more invitations to an order because there were co-workers of dad or clients that were not on the list and need an invitation. It is your wedding, if you decide to invite children, remember that factors in when you figure all the costs for the dinner and favors etc... Set an age limit , or restrict your list to children of immediately family only. That is a suggestion that will solve many conflicts with you are your family. |
