3 Rules On How To Reduce A Wedding Guests List For Your Wedding. by Midekin(m): 12:35pm On Jan 14, 2020
When planning a wedding on a low budget, you are forced to make some tough decisions such as drawing a line on how many guests to invite, as well as for deciding on who and who should or should not be invited to your wedding.
Cutting down the wedding guest list is one of the most stressful and dreaded parts of wedding planning, but once you get it done, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Don’t feel too bad about the people whose names you removed from the guest list. Just remember that Weddings are intimate affairs, meant for family and close friends. Your third cousin from your Mother’s village and that office colleague will eventually forgive you for not giving them invitation cards. So, focus on how best to make your wedding special.

RULE 1: TRIM DOWN THE NUMBER OF RELATIVES TO THE MOST IMPORTANT
1. No distant cousin/ aunt/ uncle. -No ‘friend of relatives.
2. No second, third cousins etc
3. Remove names of distant relatives you don’t know, have never met, or have not spoken to in the past 6 months; or don’t see regularly

RULE 2: REDUCE THE NUMBER OF BRIDE'S & GROOM'S FRIENDS
1. You don’t have to invite anyone just because you attended the same school or live(d) in the same neighborhood.
2. Anyone you haven’t seen or spoken to in the past 6 months to a year;
3. Any name you delay and deliberate whether or not to delete;
4. Friends of your friends or co-workers of your friends – they are not your friends
5. Any friend you see only at parties or events organized by your mutual friends – meaning that they’re your friends’ friends and not ‘your friend’;
6. The exes: Don’t invite your ex-boyfriend unless your fiancé agrees to it. Likewise, his ex-girlfriend(s) should only be invited if you (bride) agree to it.

RULE3: REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CO-WORKERS AND BUSINESS ACQUAINTANCES
If you have lots of office colleagues, it sure would be nice to invite them all. But when your catering budget cannot accommodate everyone, you need to cut down the guest list.
1. Ask yourself: If the company where you both work closes down tomorrow, would you still be friends with them? Apart from the job, what other business do you have in common? If the answer is “nothing”, remove their name from the guest list.
2. Don’t invite anyone you meet only at work and never socialize with outside the office, don’t invite them – they’re not your close friends;
3. If 5 to 10 years from now, there’s a possibility that you will look at wedding pictures and wonder, “Who is this person?”, then remove their name from the guest list.

Remember: Wedding is just a day while Marriage is for ever. Spend wisely.

Tell us your budget and we will fix your dream wedding for you.

WEDDING STYLE AFTER COVID'19 BY MR.PERFEFR EVENTS.

This has been the question lots of intending couples has been asking. While alot is yet to be known about what life will be like over the next few months.
If you’re planning on having your wedding after COVID restrictions are lifted, read on for Mr. Perfect Events advice for hosting an unforgettableevent.
HALL
The event hall must be neat, obey NCDC guidelines on Covid'19, enough parking space, enough rest rooms, enough security personnel to direct people and control traffic etc.
GUEST LISTS
When people are once again allowed to gather, weddings will likely be smaller than before. this means you will have to reduce the number of people on your guest list, although figuring out how to cut number of guests can be an overwhelmingly difficult task, it is necessary, so that your guests can relax and feel more confident about attending the wedding( but we promise , the ones left out will understand)
benefit of having a smaller wedding include the facts that the wedding will become intimate by default, and also allow the couples to spend more time on the details and the experience as a whole.
INVITATIONS
many couples have sent out cards to announce change of date, but there are addition that might have been left out, you need to let your guest know you will be adhering and monitoring health and regulatory guidelines as we navigate this unprecedented times
couple can also send digital invitation to guest that could not make it to the live event to join the ceremony on a live stream, the detailed invitation should contain where and how to view the video. this is a great way to build excitement before the big day.
CEREMONY
Wedding after covid restrictions will still be an emotional experience with special moments, but with a few changes in the layout to ensure safety, there are going to spacing between chairs in accordance with the social distancing measure, also there might be less chairs at events now than there used to be, allowing people to stand close or far away from others as possible, also, to ensure everyone's comfort, ceremonies will become alot shorter, considering the fact that there will be less guests in attendance.
Ceremony programs is another detail to think about, if you are having an indoor celebration you could place the programmes on guests sits or if its outdoors, you could have write it on a board at the entrance to the venue rather than having someone hand them out.
FOOD & DRINKS
Food and drink is a major part of any wedding reception. That won’t change, but the way food and drinks are presented will likely change. the goal here is to ensure as few hands as possible while still providing guest with delicious culinary experience. since the number of guest will not be much, serve-your-self mode of serving might be employed here, and if not the number of servers will be reduced . vendors will also be required to where face masks, so I imagine we'll see some vendors with some fun modifications built in.
While for the cake, instead of slicing from the ceremonial cake you could have your vendor make little bits,wrapped, that can be shared at the event , this will also ensure less hands touching the cake.
MUSIC
Instead of packed dance floors, couples may be moving toward a fancy party atmosphere focusing on toasts and speeches, special dances, and unique entertainment. Music will be more important than ever with acurated set list of music used from the introductions of the couples, to the special dances, to all of your favorite songs while you enjoy the party.
Larger dance floors will also make distancing possible.
DÉCOR & LIGHTNING
Smaller weddings mean couples can be even more creative with their decor. Having a signage will be a good idea, from menus to seating charts.
lighting may play a bigger role than ever before, from spot lights to mood lights. Couples are expecting smaller guest counts so adding spotlights on the tables, spreading out chandeliers and increasing the number of accent walls might be a good idea to help make the space feel wholly and encompassing.
SURVENIRS
Hand sanitizer is a hot commodity these days, and it’s going to be a popular wedding favor in the months to come. Guest care stations complete with hand sanitizer and wipes will be more commonplace, particularly near restrooms and any doors that guests will walk through.
A big question for weddings after COVID restrictions revolves around masks—should couples provide masks for their guests? I don’t think we need to go overboard with customized masks for guests But having some there as a backup plan is important—and they don't have to be customized.
PHOTO & VIDEO
Photography and videography will play an even bigger role in weddings that take place after COVID restrictions are lifted. Loved ones who are not able to attend will be able to experience the event through live streaming, photos, and videos. Photographers and Videographers will be bringing more value to couples and their families because they can share the emotions from the event with their missing family members and friends. In addition to more couples wanting videography, we are also seeing an increased request for live streaming services for wedding ceremonies. Including family members by live streaming the event is a special way to include those who were unable to make the event in person.
