AHHH!! I am having a hard time deciding where to have my Venue.  I have 3 venues because I dont know how many people to invite or who can or cannot come.  It seems like everyone wants to come AND bring a bus with them!  My fiance wants to have a small beach wedding.  I found a little quaint chapel like venue on the beach for the reception but it only holds 70 people max.  This would mean we’d have to butcher the guest list.  Which is fine BUT so hard.  Im having a hard time cutting when I have to factor the pastor, musician, caterers, and photographer in.  Heck- i could be missing someone.  I feel like Im being too scimpy, but we are paying for it on our own!  Do i go for the bigger venue and pay $3000 more or do I suck it up and cut people on the list?  What is it worth?  It is only ONE day.  but i want it to go smooth and remember it being the best day of my life!  Any advice would be gracious 🙂  I forgot to mention we are relocating to a different state post wedding festivities.

Your first step is to type (or write) a list of EVERY person you and your fiancee may want to invite to your wedding.

 

The next step is to then figure out the amount per plate (for each venue). 

 

I would then put together a list like this:

Venue 1 would allow for us to have  XXX amount of people

Venue 2 would allow ……. so on and so forth.

 

Lastly, I would then go back and see if you can get you and your fiancee’s list down to the corresponding numbers of each venue. 

 

Let me know if this is confusing.  I’m sure I can explain it better. 

Good luck!
