Lots of hugs & love!

I'm just gonna be completely blunt here...THIS IS NOT OK!! Do not do this!
Until you've planned a wedding with 100/200 plus guests, you'll never understand!
But while I'm here, let me educate you!
When compiling a guest list, here's what goes into the thought process:
Immediate family
Extended family
Bridal party
Then it goes to friends, family friends, coworkers etc!
Then you have to look at:
*Venue capacity
*Cost per person for catering (and you do not get a discount for children! They eat at adult prices)
*Table count (which includes, but not limited to, linens centerpieces, chargers, silverware, plates, napkins, cups/glassware)
*Bar/beverages (which includes water, tea, soft drinks, beer, wine, napkins, cups, koozies, ice and could impact the number of bartenders)
This person just added a whole table! If 10 invitations out of 100 add 4 additional people to the guest list, that's 40 more people!
40 more people = 5 more tables = an additional $1300 in food/beverages + $200 to $500 for table linens & decor. 🥴 Just don't!
And if you need help with how to handle this situation, budget, planning etc...🙋🏼♀️ hey girl hey! I'm here! 😉
