Hey everyone!

I’m in the thick of wedding planning and could really use your advice. We’re trying to finalize our guest list, but it’s proving to be a bit of a challenge.

Here’s the situation: we have a limited budget, and we want to keep it intimate, but we also have some family members who might get upset if they’re not invited. How do you decide who makes the cut? Any tips on handling potential hurt feelings while keeping our celebration special and manageable?

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

    Some brides+grooms host the wedding themselves, but even in these modern times, most often the bride's parents' names are on the top line of the invitations as the people who are requesting guests to attend.  If your mom is hosting, and it's her name on the top line as the person who is inviting people, then she deals with upset family members, etc.

    If you keep the guest list somewhat logical/tiered, it will alleviate some of the hurt feelings.  Prioritize close circles of family and friends; immediate family and friends on your "speed dial".  Rather than focus on who you are eliminating, concentrate on those you absolutely want to invite.  Keep the list private.

    You won't be able to control how others feel about it, so take that factor out of the equation.
