I have come up with this little flowchart to help you decide who gets to party all night, and who stays home.

Leave a comment if this helps you with your invites, or if you have your own method of whittling down your guest list

We have some crafty tips for you to help you personalise your wedding, and they might even save you some money.

Create your own place cards and save the date cards using these lovely mini-cards from Moo. You can use one of their ready-made designs, or upload your own pictures or designs for a totally unique set of cards. Moo allows you to have a different image on each card, so you can really go to town with your designs.
