So I thought I finalized my guest list and was pretty happy about it. I finished my first rotation and of course since I loved everybody, I wanted them all to come to my wedding. But the thing is, we agreed on 140 guests for both sides. While I do want all my friends there, I have to be aware that my family has to come as well. This whole guest list is super hard and its driving me crazy. I don't want to forget anyone! I'm making a list again and just cutting people out as I go along.
There are people that I was close to in the past but haven't spoken to in a long time. Should I invite them anyway? Do I have to invite couples? For instance, I am really close to the wife but don't really have a relationship with the groom. Is it rude to only invite the wife? I know I would be mad if someone didn't invite my husband, as we go everywhere together. I tried to solve this quandary on Theknot.com but didn't find any answers. Any suggestions? I think I answered this question already. But really, how can I make the guest list thing easier?

My,my my...I remember those times. I was in your same predicament when I was planning my wedding.
Please don't let all of this stress you out. It's your big day and no one else's. Try to think of the people who mean most to YOU and add them first.
Yeah, there will be those who cross your mind that you haven't kept in contact with for a while ... oh well lol! No seriously though. I was feeling that way until I realized, months and months later, that marriage is a sacred event -- and the most important people are the bride and groom. The guests are there for you, but a lot of times, I found that they think it's the other way around: "Where am I sitting? What am I wearing? What kind of food is gonna be there?" Etc.
And the couples thing, lol, girl you might want to invite them both (crackin' up!) I know it takes up extra seats that you can use for important people, but it's the courteous thing to do, unfortunately.
But then again, the beauty of all of this is ... it's your wedding! You have the right to make up new rules:)
Best wishes with the list, lady, and thanks a bundle for checking out my blog!
Much love
This deserves a post of its own outside of all my other long-windedness:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You two are such a beautiful couple. I'm definitely excited for you! The best is yet to come:)
Blessings!
Thanks Mrs. Nichols!
