Classmates?

What Amy said.

How we did it? Family that we actually see/speak to/care about and friends we actually see/speak to/care about. This still only got us to a list of 104, ended up expecting 75ish and got 66.

Here's some flow charts that could help with guest lists.

Well because we were close and everything. Its only 3 ladies that I am referring too.

I'm only inviting one HS friend and it's because we've remained friends since graduating. Same with FH, for the most part. My criteria for choosing my side was asking how much of a presence did/does this person have in my life. For example, I'm inviting my godfather even though we haven't spoken in years because he was a crucial part of my life growing up. I would start by taking off people you haven't spoken to other than online and see where it gets you. Also remember that you can invite more people than you can afford to actually have at the wedding because 100% attendance is rare. I have a lot of out of town guests so I can invite a bit more than my max because not everyone will be able to afford to fly across the country.

Thank you Reenski!!!! I need this

Okay thank Meilani.. We have a lot of out of town people also. And yea, I am gonna do stick with the people we have a pretty good relationship with. We have started cutting down our friends because we're trying not to have 200 or more people..

Me nd mine attend church together so were inviting the church which is about 70 people nd were also inviting his family and some of mine.nd the last few are people that have helped us along the way. But I agree if you don't really hang or see them then you don't need to invite them nd also give yourselves a maximum number. Ours is 120.

I agreed with Amy V., until I read that it's only 3 girls. I know if you say "it's only one person" about every guest you'll never cut your list, but . . . it's only 3 . . .

Our list was huge until I scratched off all the people we haven't spoken to in the last month.

I have your same issue. His family is huge. First we agreed on 125 guests, then 150 but our list is at 160. When it came to my friends it was easy: do they know ny fh outside of social networks??? No??? Then you're out. The way I figured, I want ppl at our wedding who know us through our ups and downs in the relationship. That night shouldn't be the first time my friends meet him. If it is, they're not invited. Obviously I don't spend enough time with those people.

I suggest you think about the amount of time you spend with these friends. If its just instagram, well, they can look at the pics afterwards. LoL.

Personally hun, being that you only talk to those people here and there, I wouldn't invite them. I think this moment should be shared with your close friends and family and atleast those that you talk to on a regular. But, it's your day, it will be great either way.
