Step one: Start thinking about your wedding guest list

Before you get carried away and it’s so easy to, so take a step back and think about the venue you have chosen. Can it accommodate your guests? Or have you chosen a venue with a huge reception area but really you only want to invite a small number? When writing your list start with those closest to you, family and friends and those key people for your day, bridesmaids and best man. And yes you can have an A-list and a B-list…I know it sounds terrible but only you will know. How it works, if someone from your A-list cannot make it, invite someone from your B-list!!!
