How Many Guests Should You Invite to Your Wedding?
Planning a wedding comes with a big question: How many guests should you invite? The number depends on several factors such as your budget and venue capacity. Let Wedding in Thai guide you through the key considerations

Ideas to Help Plan Your Guest List

1. Budget
Calculate the cost per guest, including food, beverages, favors, and decorations, to determine how many people you can afford to invite within your budget.

2. Venue Capacity
Consider the space limitations of your venue. Ensure the number of guests fits comfortably without feeling overcrowded.

3. Guest Convenience
Think about the travel convenience for your guests, especially those coming from out of town or abroad.

4. Wedding Style
Intimate weddings: Invite around 20-50 guests.
Medium-sized weddings: Invite 50-150 guests.
Large weddings: Invite more than 150 guests.

5. Guest Groups to Prioritize
Start with family and close relatives.
Add close friends and coworkers.
Finally, consider acquaintances or less close friends.

6. Prioritizing Your Guest List
Make a list of must-invite guests (e.g., family, close relatives).
Create a secondary list for additional guests if your budget and venue allow (e.g., coworkers, old friends).

By considering these factors, you can ensure a guest list that matches your vision and resources while creating a memorable celebration for everyone.
