Manage Your Guest List

Consider Your Wedding Date

If you have your heart set on a popular destination, avoid the high-season crowds, and book your wedding during a quieter time for the locale. A shoulder season of spring or fall will have the best prices for your guests, and you’ll likely get your preferred dates (and perhaps a better deal) at your venue.

Stay Precise In Choices

Avoid adding extras to your celebration and this not just includes the guest list but everything from the food menu to wedding functions. Go for rented outfits and jewellery for multi-day celebrations. If your beloved ones have a liking towards a particular kind of cuisine then there’s absolutely no need to add all extras on the board.
