26: How to Make Your Guest List + WHY it's important!
Description
Where do you even START when it comes to making the list of who's gonna be at your wedding??
Here, that's where ;)
I share why having guests is important at your wedding and then practical tips about how to get that list to a number you're happy with.
Please note, I shared this to help people who are getting married everywhere, not just where I live, which currently has restrictions on weddings because of the situation the last two years, so I feel it's important to add this:
The celebration of this liturgical rite is done in a communal way — in a church with a congregation — because marriage is ordered toward an increase in holiness for the community it’s lived out in. In other words, your marriage is supposed to bring the two of you, and your community, closer to each other and closer to God; it is a visible sign of unity in the community.
Since a Catholic wedding is so focused on unity, I believe every guest you invite should be welcomed graciously, so if that can't happen due to current restrictions, I urge you to take that into consideration when planning your party.
