Guestlist.
It’s no surprise this section comes after the budget section as this will determine the size and makeup of the guestlist.
It’s the one thing that could break the whole thing apart.
Here at 3 Wise Men we like to do things in threes, so divide your proposed guest list into thirds.
One third for your partner’s family, one for your family and one for you and your partner’s friends.
Then get tough. Really tough.
Ask yourself: will you still be friends with these people in ten years? If not. They’re out.
So that guy from the golf club who once bought you a beer, your co-workers (unless it’s your boss of course), your gym instructor (they’ll only tell you off for eating the wedding cake) or young kids (unless they’re still at the cute stage and could be flower children) - yep they’re all off the list too.
Lastly go with the flow. Especially if you’re not paying for the whole show.
Remember every family’s got an Uncle Derek who still can’t believe their luck that it’s an open bar. And there’s always photoshop to remove anyone embarrassing from the wedding photos.
