You have already set a date and found your wedding venue. As time creeps closer and closer to your big day, you should start thinking about who you want to share in your joy. Use the following tips to simplify the process of choosing a guest list for your wedding.

Create a List of Must-Haves
Once you and your fiancé decide on a number of guests to invite, you can start actually figuring out who will make the cut. Begin the process by compiling a list of guests that you both absolutely want to have at your wedding. This will probably include your close family and best friends. Once you have this list set, you know how many more people you can invite until you hit your maximum.

Keep Planning from There
If you still have room on your guest list, you can invite your "b" list, or those people who you still talk to occasionally like friends from high school. Extended family members will also be a part of this group. Spend some time narrowing down the "b" list to ensure that you have not yet invited more people than you originally planned to invite. If you are not careful, the guest list can get out of control quickly.

Decide if You Want Guests to Bring Guests
You do not have to allow everyone to bring a date to the wedding, especially if you are already running out of space on your guest list. While you should invite your cousin's husband, you do not have to encourage your single friends to bring a date.
