Smart Ways to Cut Wedding Guest Lists Without Hurt Feelings

Guest Count Drives the Entire Budget

One of the fastest ways to overspend on a wedding is by inviting too many guests. The cost per person—food, seating, rentals, place settings—adds up quickly. Yet couples feel pressured to include coworkers, extended relatives, acquaintances, or people they barely speak to.

A Thoughtful Approach to Reducing the List

The key to cutting guests without hurting feelings is communication. Couples can prioritize people who play meaningful roles in their lives and gently explain to others that they are keeping the celebration intimate. Most people understand when boundaries are communicated clearly and kindly.
