the Guest List should not be a guilt trip

The Guest List Guilt Trip: Why You Shouldn’t Feel Bad About Cutting People

Let’s talk about the hardest part of wedding planning—the guest list. Suddenly, everyone expects an invite, from that cousin you haven’t spoken to in years to your parents’ friends you barely know. And when you start making cuts? Cue the guilt trips.

But here’s the truth: your wedding isn’t a reunion or a charity event. It’s a deeply personal day that should be filled with people who genuinely support and celebrate you. If someone’s presence feels like an obligation rather than a joy, they don’t need a seat at your table.

So let go of the pressure, stand by your decisions, and remember—your wedding isn’t about making everyone else happy. It’s about creating a day that feels right for YOU. ✨💍
