Day 3 of 12: The Guest List Game Changer

When planning a wedding, one of the most challenging tasks is creating the guest list. However, one of the best secrets to hosting a microwedding is you can transform your guest list into an opportunity for deeper connections and simplicity with your guests. Here's how it works:

5 Questions to Consider for your Microwedding Guest List

1. Prioritize Your Inner Circle

Microweddings are all about intimacy and sharing your big day with the people who matter most. By limiting your guest count, you can:

• Invite only close family and friends who truly support and celebrate your love story.

• Avoid the pressure to include distant relatives or obligatory invites.

• Create a space where every guest feels valued and connected to your celebration.

  
  

2. Quality Time with Every Guest

At larger weddings, it can be hard to spend meaningful time with everyone. A smaller guest list means you can:

• Share heartfelt moments with each attendee.

• Personally thank each guest for celebrating with you.

• Enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere where you’re not rushing from table to table.

  
  

3. A Stress-Free Planning Process

Fewer guests simplify logistics, leaving you more time to focus on what truly matters. With a streamlined guest list, you’ll experience:

• Fewer seating chart headaches.

• Simpler logistics and communication channels for your guests (e.g. group chats or emails for wedding updates vs. a wedding website).

• Lower costs for invitations, favors, and accommodations.

  
  

4. How to Curate Your Perfect List

Not sure where to start? Here are a few tips:

• Begin with your non-negotiables: Who are the people you can’t imagine your day without?

• Consider the venue size: Keep your guest count in line with your chosen space.

• Don’t feel guilty: A smaller guest list is a choice to prioritize intimacy and connection.
