Guest list stress

If changing the venue isn't an option, then you're definitely going to have to cut some folks unfortunately. You, of course cannot have over the allowed capacity as your wedding could definitely get shut down, and we wouldn't want that happening. I know a lot of people like to make their lists by eliminating those they haven't spoken to in over a year. This may work for you, but for me it wasn't a possibility as SO many people on our list I haven't seen in over 3 years but I still love them and can't imagine them NOT being there.

You can rethink inviting coworkers (if there are any of on your list) as this is completely not necessary to do. For friends, if they make up a large number of your list, consider inviting those whom you keep into close contact with. In terms of family, maybe make it a adult only event. This could significantly reduce the amount of guests in attendance. Another thing you may want to consider are plus ones. This additional guests- though pleasant can greatly add to your list. So if you were initially thinking about offering plus ones to your single guests, you may want to reconsider! Just a few suggestions, all the best to you and your FH
