    Had an idea of the guest list which we solidified after the venue was picked.

    Guest list for sure for us. We had to know a ball park range of how many guests we would be expecting before we could even look at venues or set a budget.

    Venue came first. The guest list has since exploded and I'm a bit concerned. I'm actually hoping that the 30% rule is true or else it's going to be standing room only!

    The venue cane first dime for was it was a no bra-inner as for as our guest because we were only selecting 48 people who are near and dear to us both.

    Guest List! We knew the guests we wanted to share our day with, and that narrowed it down to the type of venue we knew could accommodate.

    Guest list, we already knew who we wanted to invite despite the venue.

    Guest list. We had a good idea of who we wanted to invite before looking into venues, even with a specific vision.

    Guest list for us. We still don't have a venue. We are leaning towards marrying somewhere outside or in an air bnb.

    Guest list. You can't look for venues until that is decided.
