After you\u2019ve come down from the high of telling everyone you\u2019re engaged, it\u2019s time to get to work! Here are some tips who you should invite to your wedding.<\/p>\n<h2>Coworkers<\/h2>\n<p>This is usually the biggest issue for people when planning a wedding, especially if you work for a big company. Ask yourself would you invite this person to a dinner party, if the answer is yes it\u2019s a good indicator of whether or not you want them at your wedding.<\/p>\n<h2>Plus one<\/h2>\n<p>A very tricky topic, should you give your single quests a plus one? Plus ones can really double up your invite list. Some guests may not need or want a plus one if they are single so the general rule should be if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">They are married\/engaged<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Living together<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">In a relationship for longer than 6 months<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other than that it\u2019s a no. Let your guests know that after the final Save The Date replies have come back that you will see if there is extra room.<\/p>\n<h2>Old Friends<\/h2>\n<p>Are you on the fence about a few people? Trust your instincts. If you haven\u2019t spoken to them in a few years or you fell out, you shouldn\u2019t feel obliged to invite them to your wedding. Don\u2019t succumb to any pressure your family might put you under. If that person still means something to you, it\u2019s worth considering. Otherwise, it should be left alone!<\/p>\n<p>Wedding Guest Book from <a title=\"Etsy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/130822435\/rustic-wedding-guest-book-personalized?ref=sr_gallery_2&amp;sref=sr_59fd1acd487ff33ed72a0e7941ec8a21dfabf3ff3cc3b1ee70face0848d93445_1377513703_14243171_wedding_guest&amp;ga_search_query=wedding+guests&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_ship_to=IE&amp;ga_search_type=all\" class=\"broken_link\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Etsy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filing down a wedding guest list has to be one of the most challenging aspects of planning any wedding.
