Are you worried about your guest list? Do you wonder how many people will actually be at your wedding? The final guest list is one of the most stressful parts of planning a formal wedding. Many people today are not prompt in sending back their RSVP cards. Some forget altogether and just show up at a wedding. This can cause problems for the catering people and other professionals helping with your wedding.
It is always better to plan for more people than you anticipate and have more room and food available. Not having enough food, seats or favours can cause unnecessary stress at the last minuet. Your special day should be as stress free as possible and this is one part of the planning you can control.
If you want to have assigned seating it may be better to just have assigned tables. That way you can plan to leave a few places open should there be unexpected guests. No matter how well you plan there are always last minuet changes and this can mean you need to be flexible with seating arrangements. No matter how well you plan there are often uninvited guest that show up or guests who fail to come. Having a few extras of everything is a good way to avoid much of the stress of last minuet wedding planning. Be flexible and plan on enjoying your big day without the added stress of last minuet surprises.
