Settling Your Guest List with Your Parents

One common problem that a bride encounters while planning a wedding is when you are preparing your guests list. This is a necessary procedure with your wedding planning since this will determine your expenditures beside from buying your bridesmaid gifts and flower girl gifts.

Planning your guests list can become trouble some when both families want to include too much of their invites to your own list of invites. And the brides family may have a lot of say on this matter since they feel that they are spending more than the groom’s family so they try to invite more than what you expect. Or the groom’s family would want to include their own list and not doing so may even hurt their feelings.

One great way to solve this confusion is to seat with them and have a talk about your own plans and your realistic views about how many people you could really afford to invite. You should both give them the same numbers of invites, but if your mom really insist on having more than the other family, you can do so just do not let the other family feel that you are neglecting their relatives as well.
