On Saturday our BM and GM threw us the best wedding shower, It was filled with love, food, drinks, dancing and so much laughter. I gave a little thank you speech and joked about how we should just get married right then and there. Later that night FH and I got to talking and said we should've just planned a smaller wedding form the start. We loved the feel of how intimate and nice it was to mingle and talk to everyone at the shower. I said it may not be too late to change the plans. We haven't sent out the invites and we didn't do STD. We'd basically be chopping our guest list from 150 to maybe 75. The only obstacle we may have is with the venue. We wouldn't be switching venues but just seeing if we can switch to their smaller room if its available. Has anyone switched plans this late in the game? I can't imagine it would be difficult to downsize.

    Please keep us updated. I literally add this talk with FH last night. Our current guest list is 160. I want to cut it to 75ppl maybe 80. I just want to be able to enjoy everyone and not feel overwhelmed. Edit: lol. Just read the update. Congratulations. So glad everything worked out.

    Oh yes definitely. The people at the shower were our close family and friends that are basically our VIPs. So there's no question everyone that was in attendance at the shower is at the top of guestlist.

    I wish we have just eloped. My parent's suggested it when we got engaged and I wish I would have listened.

    Talk to your venue and vendors. You are so lucky you haven't sent out invites yet. My FH and I our having second thoughts about having a big wedding but STDs have been sent and now it's too late for us

    This sounds like a plan, but remember, anyone who has attended a single pre-wedding festivity MUST be on the guest list. Secondly, if you fell into the utterly useless STD thing, each of those recipients MUST be on your guest list.

    Wishing you all the best with your smaller wedding.
