A small wedding is only small if the guest list is as short as possible.

Not sure how to cut it down?

Secret 1:

Look through your cell phone text messages and calls, and only invite those you’ve spoken within the last three months. 

The truth is that we speak regularly to those who matter most—it’s that simple!

Still having a hard time paring it down?

Secret 2:

Would you take this person out for a several hundred-dollar (or several thousand-dollar!) dinner? 

Secret 3:

Would you have this person and their guest in your home for an intimate dinner or as a weekend house guest? 

Thinking about how close your relationships are will help ensure you are truly comfortable with those you surround yourselves with on your wedding day.

Of course, other people want to know you’ve tied the knot. Thus, make a list of those who will want to know the big news, and send out a wedding announcement after the fact.
