    That's doable even with possible restrictions!

    Yeah, as long as restrictions don’t go back to 10 or 25. We’re happy with our number we had to trim about half but we like the intimate feel. And we hadn’t sent any save the dates yet so no hurt feelings.

    I think that things will be better by June, at least I hope they are.

    When we first started planning before covid our original guest count was 120 and we were going to be spending 10k on the wedding. Now our guest count is 50 and I think we will have only spent 5k on the wedding. We decided after covid happened to keep the wedding scaled down no matter what because we decided to get a house sooner than later.

    That's a good plan, put that extra money towards a down payment!

    Our guest list is at 100, and we won’t go above that. I’m pretty positive the list is done unless we suddenly make some new friends lol

    Currently, we are at 120 guests but I can easily see that going up to like 130-140 (yikes darn you plus ones). I am optimistic about having my wedding with my guest count. If even fewer people come then we're cool on that too.

    And you're not getting married for a little while so Covid should definitely be more under control by then!

    Roughly.


    Though I'd say it was more like 30 of my mother's side stopped speaking to me. (Kind of expected, but not completely. )

    Oh okay. Well at least they decided not to come rather than cause drama on your big day!
