Wedding Expert Minute Tip 33 - A Drama Free Method for Shortening Your Guest List

Hello, this is Susan with BestForBride.com with another wedding planning trip for you. Many Brides have their dream weddings planned out in their heads from the time they are little girls so coming up with wedding themes, colors and ideas is easy. Paying for it all, however, can be a bit trickier.

If you're having a bit or trouble keeping your wedding budget under control then consider taking a closer look at your guest list. Paying to wine and dine each guest is where the bulk of your spending will go. Crunch the numbers and see what it is costing you per guest and adjust your guest list accordingly. If it costs around $100 per guest and you are able to cut out just one table of 10 then you have saved $1,000 off your wedding day bottom line.

The math is the easy part; now, how do actually eliminate guests without causing hurt feelings? Must like they do in hospitals, you need to implement a triage method for your guest list.

Tier 1: Immediate Family, best friends and wedding party

Tier 2: Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and friends you couldn't imagine celebrating without
Tier 3: Your parent's friends, your co-workers, neighbors, etc.

When it's time to start narrowing down you list, start at the bottom of the list and work your way up. Another easy place to cut down the guest list is by eliminating the "plus one" policy for single guests. Don't worry; there will be plenty of people for them to mingle with at the reception!

Hi Best for Bride,

Thanks for giving me the chance to offer my feedback on my experience at Best for Bride. I have to say it was a great experience. While I can't remember names, everyone there was so helpful and took their time with me so I didn't feel rushed or pressured. I bought my dress off the rack and you had a fantastic selection at really great prices. I had a tough time choosing but in the end, got the perfect dress. Your seamstress was amazing and efficient and the dress fit perfectly after she was done with it. I would definitely recommend Best for Bride to my friends and family. I've attached a picture here. Thanks for all your help!

My name is Elaine and I purchased my dream wedding dress from Best for Bride. The service I received from my very first visit to every time I went back was just amazing. They were all so supportive, helpful, honest and really had an eye for seeing the vision I was trying to find. They made me feel like a princess and really helped me with my search for my dream gown. When I did find "the dress" they were just as happy and excited as my family and friends were, they were the best goup of ladies to have with me at that moment. The customer service at Best for Bride was no comparison to any of the other stores I had been to, and ultimately, is why I kept going back and found my wedding gown there.

Thanks so much ladies, it was the best experience, and just the experience I hoped for.
Elaine
