September std invites

I would suggest cutting your guest list down to fit the current guest count allowance now.

If the number goes up, then you can start sending out the rest of the std if you have time to. If there's no time, just send out invites to whoever you can add on if the count goes up.

I would only send out Save The Dates to who you would be able to host if your wedding were tomorrow. Just because you didn't send someone a Save The Date doesn't mean you can't send them an invite later on. Shelly has a great idea - if restrictions change in the next month or two, you can always send out another round of Save The Dates at that time!

I agree with the two previous posters. Learn from ALL of the experience here of the poor couples who didn't know they would have to cut back until after they had sent invitations. Make your life easier and prevent that from the start.

Agreed with all above. It is far better to tell people "hey, guess what, we are allowed to have more people and we would love for you to be there!" than to tell people "hey, so we are going to have to cut you from the list because we can't have as many people as we hoped we would by now..."

I agree with everyone above. Only invite the number you can currently accommodate. If restrictions lift, you can send out invites to the extra people.

It's highly rude to invite people and then uninvite. You and fiance decide who you can't imagine the day without within your budget and and send save the dates/invites once that list is set in stone. If a person gets a save the date, they must receive an invite.

I agree on erring on the side of caution and only invite based on current guidelines. Much easier to invite more later than to uninvited people.

When we sent STDs we were only allowed 50 guests, so we sent out STDs to only those 50 people. When we sent out invites the number went up to 85 so we sent invites to those 85.The new 35 guests didn't ask about the STD. For all they knew we didn't have any lol. Hope that helps.

We only sent STD's to immediate family and to those who would need to make travel arrangements that we know 100% we would be inviting regardless. A big chunk of my family lives in a different country and it's not looking like travel will be possible before our date. I've communicated with them and they do know what our date is, but also know that realistically they may not be able to attend because of COVID restrictions.
