Couples often have to cap the number of guests they invite to their wedding. It could be a matter of how many guests they can afford to entertain, how many people the venue can accommodate or just their personal wishes.
If they want to invite more people than the guest count allows, they will need to have an “A & B List”. The most important thing about an “A & B” list is that guests never know they are on the “B” list. All guest need to feel equally welcome. Typically wedding invitation go out to invited guests 6-8 weeks before the wedding, instead, your clients need to send the invitations to the first round of guests 10-12 weeks before the wedding. As each “No” response comes in (and No’s usually arrive first), your couple can send out an invite to the next person on the list. The guest still gets the invitation 6-8 weeks before the wedding, so there will be no hurt feelings.
