How to Manage Your Guest List? RSVP Tips
Practical advice for finalizing guest count, tracking RSVPs and creating a seating plan.
Your guest list affects everything from budget to venue capacity. Mismanagement can cause last-minute crises.
Building the List
Create A-list (must invite) and B-list (if space allows) categories. Share the list with both families to discover anyone who should be added.
RSVP Tracking
- ●Send invitations 6-8 weeks in advance
- ●Set RSVP deadline 3 weeks before wedding
- ●Call non-respondents 2 weeks before
- ●Track status with My Account > Guests page
Plus-One Policy
Decide upfront who gets a "+1". Typically: married/engaged couples and long-term partners. Single friends can be solved with seating arrangements.
Seating Plan
Seat close friend groups together. Place older guests away from speakers. Give families with kids tables near the exit (quick escape if needed).
