Is anyone having a large number of guets at their wedding? We plan to invite 100 people. How do you avoid hurting someone's feelings when they are not invited?

    Yep. that can be good for people that want to see the wedding but cannot be there. The video could go to youtube or facebook.

    It is best if the wedding site has good internet access but it can also be done via a decent phone. Will you have a videographer with this capability?

    Hi Audrey I'm where you are our numbers like 89. And we only wanted small 65-70 and now it's really because of the plus ones. So what I told him that we can't add anymore ppl our budget is tight. And we just can not accommodate anymore ppl. So you can say that we dont want to hurt anybody's feelings but you are already stretch thin. Because we are cutting ppl as well we have no financial help with our wedding. Because if you let 1 ppl then it goes to another then its spirals out of control. Happy planning and Congratulations to you both

    Hi Monique, I don't think that we are going to do a plus one because like you say the plus one turns into 2 or 3 more guests. We are alos paying for everything ourselves. He also has family in Jamaica & we really haven't gotten a handle on who's coming. I remember when I planned my daughter's wedding. The limit for her and her husband was 50 guests a piece. It was people she didn't invite & she really didn't care because they wanted to bring 2 or 3 extra. AT the end of the day it didn't bother her because they weren't contributing to the cost. This is a joyous time for us & we are just not trying to let anyone stress us out. Congratulations to you as well!

    Hey Michael, we are still in the process of creating the website. I plan on keeping everyone updated about the wedding. We will have a videographer as well as a photographer. I have a cousin who does photography but I'm not sure if we are going to use him because it takes him forever to edit pictures. Lol. We do have our work cut out for us as far as finding someone within our budget.

    I was going to ask you about kids. I have 2 grandsons that are going to be in the wedding and my niece also. I think those are the only kids that will be at the wedding. In my family we have more kids than adults. Lol. I know that it will be some people saying that if their kids can't come then they aren't coming. That's a risk that I'm willing to take. We are spending a lot of money & the last thing that I am worried about is someone being offended that yheir kids can't com to our wedding.

    Lol lol I did type that but them erased it I have 12 grandchildren the youngest is 5mos old. Lol so we just did want the adults really to have to deal and not enjoy theirselves. Because they are attending to the kids and didn't want to hear crying, whinny or too many interruptions. So we said no little ones
