Your wedding should be filled with those you love most in this world! However, with your wedding’s budget and venue’s limited space, you may not be able to invite absolutely everyone. As a result, you will face the difficult decision of who to invite. Here are three simple steps to forming your wedding guest list to ensure everyone you love will be invited!

Bridal Party

First things first, decide on your wedding party. Who will be walking down the aisle and standing with you during the ceremony? A lot of the time these are close family and friends that you will be inviting any way. Then move on to inviting the actual guests that will be in the audience or congregation of your wedding.

VIP List

The next step in forming your wedding guest list is to create a VIP list. These are your favorite family and friends that you can’t imagine missing your big day! Typically this list will include imediate family members, grandparents and close friends. Depending on the size of your wedding this could be a top ten favorite people, or top 50.

Distant Friends & Family

Finally, you will need to consider all of your friends and family who did not make your VIP list. Write down everyone you can think of, from your coworkers to your parents neighbors you grew up with. Then slowly start eliminating those that you are most distant with. As well as those you may associate with often, but may not be the nicest. And before you know it you will have your wedding guest list filled with everyone that you love!

You deserve to be surrounded by family and friends who adore you on your wedding day. And that includes your wedding photographer! Ready to book your Pocatello wedding photographer? Reach out and let’s chat!
