There are definitely many aspects of wedding planning that I love. In fact, I hadn’t found anything I didn’t like about wedding planning until this weekend.

We’re having a fairly large wedding. We’ve invited about 345 people, knowing about 200 or so will come. That being said, we’re sending out a ton of save the dates and invitations. Who knew that getting addresses from people would be as hard as it is?! And with that, who knew that cutting down the guest list would be so hard as well?!
We really struggled with the guest list. We don’t want to have anyone left out, and both of our families know so many people. We definitely had to have our parents draw a line somewhere, but it wasn’t easy at all. Also, we still have about 20 or so parties that we still need their addresses.
I will definitely be happy when all this guest list stuff is done.
On a better note though, Brittney sent in our Save the Dates yesterday to get printed (she says it’ll be 2-3 days) and I should have them this week! It’ll definitely be like a ray of sunshine to see them during this crazy finals week.
I pretty much have 2 finals today, and 2 on Thursday. I’ll be so happy to get done with them and actually have less on my plate for once. Well, actually I’ll still have lots because I’ll have to address Save the Dates, but at least I won’t have classes too!
good luck, you’re almost there!!
thanks jacin! we definitely are almost there. 7 months to the DAY!
good luck with your finals!!
wow!! you two are POPULAR! 🙂 getting the addresses for the invites was really stressful, I hear ya….it’ll all be over with soon!
haha i dont know about popular, but definitely easy to make friends 😉 glad you feel my pain on the addresses. man, it’s tough to keep track of everyone you know! and thanks for the luck!
Oh please please I hope I make the cut!!!
maggie- of course you made the cut!
Good luck with your finals! You’ll do great! And I hear you about the addresses. It’s frustrating, especially with a large guest list.
holy moly that’s a big guest list! I’ve got a headache and mine is under 150…
Good luck with your finals!
Urgghhh, the guest list is the worst!!!!

Here’s some advice from someone who has a guest list of about 400 and somewhere between 190-200 invitations…
PRINT OUT ADDRESS LABELS!!!
We used a pretty font and clear labels and I wouldn’t change A THING about it… it was so much less stressful and I bet if we asked each guest on the wedding day, no one would remember whether or not the envelopes were hand written 🙂
Can’t wait to see the save the dates!!!
i can’t wait to see your save the dates!
i thought the guest list was one of the hardest parts of this whole thing, too!
we don’t have nearly as many people as you have… but it’s like do you invite every single person you’ve ever met?! and what about giving them a guest?! i was/still am so confused!
i went over it and over it and finally made the last cuts. also, i basically only sent save the dates to the bridal party and family… JUST in CASE there were any mishaps between friends and us between the time they went out til the day of the wedding haha. maybe that’s mean?
