AAWP's Weekly Words of Wedding Wisdom™ Preventing Guests from Inviting Guests... Copyright 2009 Deborah McCoy, all rights reserved. AAWP gets lots of email about guests inviting guests. You know the scenario: Invite two people to your wedding and six show up. Some are even so brazen as to put the number of people they're inviting on the response card, for example: Number of Guests: __ 6__ AAWP recommends that you never put "Number of Guests" on your response card. In this example, guests simply "check" the appropriate response (no "numbers" allowed): The favour of a reply is requested by September fifth M______________________________ ________Accepts _______Regrets Recently, we got an idea from one of our AAWP consultants-one that will nip this problem in the bud! In the following example, the bride and groom wrote on the response card (third line): The favour of a reply is requested by September fifth Two seats are reserved for M_________________________________ ______Accepts ______Regrets This is a great idea and leaves no doubt in the guest's mind about who's invited and who isn't. With the average cost of a wedding today close to $28,000, it's time that we took matters into our own hands. A wedding is not a time to let guests invite guests. Happy Wedding Planning!
