What To Do When You Can't Cut the Guest List
A wedding can be a time filled with expenses and income always being a little short. As a bride
or a groom, making a few compromises on your guest list is not ideal. Guests could be your
relatives or friends or colleagues. You can’t call one and leave out the other. So what do you do
when you can’t cut the guest list?
There is much expenditure involved in a wedding. If you can cut down some of the not so
important expenditures you can accommodate all your guests. Now what can be cut and what
cannot be cut.
The expenditure on flowers and decorations can be a cut a little bit. If you are going to have
plenty of guest, the flower arrangements should be placed only in the corners so that nobody
should knock them over. You can go for cheaper decorations like balloons etc.
The venue for the reception or cocktail can be rethought. If it is a big wedding, hiring a beach or
park will work out less expensive than going for a five star hotel or a complete wedding set to be
created.
The food is another place, where with very small changes big money can be saved. If you are
having two or three varieties of non-vegetarian or vegetarian dishes, one dish can be cut off.
This will reduce your expenditure drastically and help you accommodate ten other guests’ at
least.
If you are someone, who is not very fashion and jewelry conscious, you too can make some
changes. Cut down the budget on your clothes for all other events. The wedding gown or suit is
too special and so no compromises to be made there. The outfits for the reception, cocktail,
prayer meeting, etc can be bought at a lesser price. Even a small compromise like $50 on each
dress will help accommodate more guests.
The bride and groom can postpone their wedding gifts to each other and spend that amount on
accommodating guests. After the wedding and honeymoon, you can buy something special for
each other, as by then all expenses would have been met and you will know exactly how much
money you have in hand.
Buy a wedding favors for all your guests which are not too expensive. Something very small with
a nice personalized tag is sure to touch everybody heart. Making tiny compromises will give you
all that extra money you need to accommodate guests. This will make all your guests happy and
will save you the heart breaking task of leaving some out.
