Guest list

We are having 17 guests at our wedding and I am so excited to only have those closest to us be present!

View Quoted Comment Wow! That is awesome. How did you not make people mad? Lol

I seen ppl on here state like 20 guest and no plus 1 so you may can go that route as well. Do what's best for your budget!!! The honeymoon is worth the investment as well. I agree with you.

We are probably going to have 50

Your health is your wealth and you shouldn't short change it for anything. You’re fortunate that you have a long time left to save and plan and hopefully you get to keep your list the way it is now but I wouldn’t care who is bothered by putting my FH health first. Not much is more important than that. I’d they value you they’ll understand the sacrifices you had to make to make sure he’s as healthy as he can be.

View Quoted Comment Just was honest about the situation we were in. We are moving across the country for military orders and we had roughly 45 days to establish a new household, move states and get married. We didn't HAVE to get married right away but with deployments coming up, the wedding would have been pushed out another two years and so would starting our family which didn't sit well with us. People are super understanding of our time restriction and generally can empathize with a big move. Just be open and honest. If someone gets upset that you cannot afford some luxurious wedding with hundreds of guests, then that is on them and not on you. Your SO'S health should be more important in everyone's eyes.

It’s your day and your can have as small or as large as you want. People will just have to understand. We only have 54 people and could have had hundreds but we wanted something small and intimate

The smallest I’ve seen is zero. You should invite however many you want, someone is going to be mad no matter what.

Just be open about the situation. Family and friends should understand. Perhaps if your having trouble cutting people consult both of your parents... but be very clear its your call.

Do what is best financially for you guys. We cut ours down to 60 invited but we’re only expecting around 50 to actually attend. 40 is great too! 30-60 is great for intimate weddings.

It’s all about you! Pick who you think is most important to be there!

We had 15 guests at our DW and 50 at our local reception. Both felt small enough to be intimate but big enough to be fun!

We have about 60 guests and our date is less than 30 days out. Some planned big expense and some very unplanned bigger expenses. There have also been little things for the wedding here and there outside of the main expenses which add up. With or with out the additional headache, I have already said if i would start over i would just have our immediate families and a backyard or private dining room. Nice and cozy! And I don't think there's anything wrong with that, people will have to understand. We are also introverts though

First off, prayers to your FH and everything will turn out well. As far as Your Wedding it's about you too. We are having an intimate wedding. We both decided will pick 5 guest each. Not counting minister. Times are hard and your guess and wedding party should understand.
