For a seconds I never thought of this but when it across my mind,I would have ignore it but I choose not because so many other wedding-related decisions depend upon the number of guests,so it is important to create your guests list and sitting arrangement earlier.
When you begin planning your wedding guest list, sit down with your fiancé and discuss what general wedding size you envision.
Do you prefer a cozy affair or a huge party with every co-worker and distant relative present?
Then, write down a list of the people you definitely want to invite, and those you might include if you opt for a larger celebration. Don't forget each parents have number of guests to invite.
As you build your guest list, keep in mind the following:
1. The general rule of thumb says to figure that only 80 percent of those invited will attend. However, don't count on it.
2. Traditionally, the guest list is divided equally between the bride and groom, but this also depends on the actual number of people each side of the family wishes to invite.
3. This days parent of the groom or bride always want to invite an association (meeting, society) which always have a huge numbers and will wish to sit in group. In this case you can always ask for rough number of the guests coming from this group and with the rough number you can always add an additional 7-10 guests to it.
4. Remember your bridesmaids and groomsmen reserve about two tables for them depending on the numbers and it perfect if the bridesmaids and groomsmen tables is in the front.
5. Now the co -workers and the friends, you also reserve about four tables for this group but depending on the numbers you have invited.
6. Cutting back on your list is never easy and it always comes down to a judgment call, balancing who wanted the person invited and the relationship. You should never be in a position of having to cut close friends from your guest list. If you find yourself having to do that, you might want to consider scaling back on the design concept for the wedding reception.
7. When it comes to wedding guests list might be short but attendees might be huge, the best possible ways to avoid this is to plan for more, like your initial guests list is 300 guests you should budget for an additional 30 - 50 more guests.
8. Think carefully about the people you send your invitations to,you know some people move with crowd and he/she cannot attend your wedding alone.
If your have this kind of people in your guest list, you can decide not to invite such person but if you find it difficult not inviting such people, you can always inform him/her about your wedding plan,that it is just a small wedding with little guests list, and if she/he insisted on inviting other people she/he can please make contribution to the weddings budget in terms of foods and drinks.
9. It preferable to number your tables with reserved signal for certain numbers of groups, If there is high table as it is called let it be sited in the front, the next table should be the bridesmaids and groomsmen tables next is your co-workers tables then the parents friends or the parents groups tables, after that you can have an open tables for other guests just to avoid rough wedding
10. It better to inform your wedding planner, friends and families about your guests list and the sitting arrangement so as to avoid misunderstandings at the reception.
