When you sit down to start your wedding planning, you’re probably not dying to dive into the logistics first. Maybe you’re daydreaming about flower arrangements or a crisp fall color palette. Maybe you know one of the first decisions you need to make is the venue, so you’ve started researching and requesting information from some of the top wedding venues in your area. 

While none of this is “bad”, today we’re diving into what you ACTUALLY need to do first - which is decide who you want to invite (and what that number means for your wedding venue's maximum capacity)! As a wedding planner, this is NOT something I can do for you. And while your guest list may not sound like the sexiest thing, honestly, it’s one of the tasks couples hate doing, you do want to know your number before you start going on venue tours (or even finalizing your budget). I can't wait to share some tips with you today!
