Hi Stacey, Wow!! I must say this sounds like a difficult position you are in! Now that you have heard from a few of the experts, What do you plan to do? Tell me , is your bride going to hire security to watch the door and manage the guest list?…

In my eight plus years of making invitations, I have come across this a few times. She has the option of doing an A and B list. Those who decline from the A list can now be supplemented by the guest on the B list. The rule of thumb is that about 25%…

How To Handle Inviting Guests To Wedding Ceremony and Not Reception?

Hi, my name is Stacey Strickler, and I am the owner of Affairs To Remember Event Planning. I am currently working with a bride who has budgeted for 175 people, however her guest list has ballooned to 300+. She wants to invite everyone to the Ceremony, and only 175 to the Reception. I have cautioned her against this idea, however she insists on going through with it. Has anyone else encounted this type of situation, and if so, how did you handle it?

I advised the bride that a guest who is invited to the ceremony, but not the wedding will most likely not come at all. Also, is she prepared to handle the hurt feelings when the uninvited guests find out about the reception? (and they most likely…

This is a very difficult situation. Will the reception venue hold 300 people. Because if it will hold all 300 guests, you should try to advise your bride to rethink her reception plans so she can allow all the invited guests to the entire event.…

I have not encountered this myself, but I would caution the couple against it. However if you are put on the spot, have the bride not put the reception cards with the invitations.

In Germany we have a "Meet the Bride and Groom" for about 1 hour after the wedding, then everybody goes their own way, in the evening we then have a Reception for special Guests. This requires 2 Invitations, I would write on the first one…
