Wedding Guest List

I managed to tie the fiance down over the last week after his crazy travel schedule to embark on the most painful part of wedding planning - the guest list!

If I thought wedding planning was difficult, the part of deciding who to invite must be the most difficult part of the whole process. We are a marked contrast from each other. He has a huge group of friends from every part of his life to invite while I have only a few friends and those few good ones I have are not even here in Malaysia! Add all these to our already very limited space for our reception and attempting to do a decent wedding guest list is one giant nightmare!

I’m currently struggling with several issues:

Ex-colleagues. I have some ex-colleagues whom I wasn’t close with but know they will probably end up offended if I don’t invite them.

Present colleagues? For the first time in my career, I am in a huge department where we often have weekly meetings amongst my peers. I’m not sure if I can get away with just inviting a small bunch of them whom I’m good friends with instead of the whole group which can easily be more than 20 people.

A good tip I recently read in helping you trim your wedding guest list is to invite just one party instead of a couple if you are not friends with both the couple. Is that acceptable as well?

The fiance is almost done with his list, we’re running over our allocated tables and I’m still not even a quarter there simply because I’m not sure who to ask! What a nightmare…*sigh*
