I had been told by my friends that the guest list was one of the hardest wedding related tasks. I had heard the jokes when I mentioned I was working on mine: “Good luck!”
I had thought that it didn’t apply to me.
These are the reasons I thought I was going to have an easy go of the guest list:
These are the reasons why I ended up with everyone else on the wedding guest list roller coaster:
We settled on a guest list as we had to get the Save-the-Dates out in quick order around the 4th of July. My personality (read: not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings), combined with Ewe Mother’s exuberance for inviting and a dash of Ram Father’s practicality, eventually met in the middle.
The hardest part of the process was setting emotions to the side. People weren’t cut from the list because we hated their guts and would barf wedding cake if we saw them at the wedding. There were simply situations that would prove to be a damper on the wedding celebrations, or just a plain, old lost connection. Ram Father helped so much - he took on the responsibility of explaining to family members how the decisions were made.
Are you stressed about your guest list? Has anyone in the family stood up for you and your decisions?
