Pick a suite that fits your wedding aesthetic!PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONSYou, your fianc, and both sets of parents should sit downto start compiling a guest list about twelve months before your wedding date and finalize it around nine to six months out. Creating a guest list is the number one thing couples (and families) tend to disagree about when planning their wedding. If you and your fianc start to argue, check outT+K PHOTOGRAPHY these questions and answers for a solution.Who should get a plus-one?When it comes to navigating the difficult plus-one situation, remember that a plus-one is a must for anyone who is married, engaged, or in a long-term relationship. Its also considerate to ex-tend a plus-one to a single friend who wont have any other friends attending the wedding. What if someone doesnt RSVP by the date on the invite?One of the most frustrating things you may encounter during wedding planning is when someone doesnt RSVP. Whoevers list the person falls onwhether its your parents, yours, your fiancs, or your fiancs parentsshould be the party responsible for calling them. Texting can be a faux pas, but it depends on your relationship with that person. If its a friend, you can probably text, but for fam-ily, coworkers, or family friends, they should be asked in-person or via phone call. GABRIELLE SUTHERLAND PHOTOGRAPHYMATT BESENYODI PHOTOGRAPHY How do we state that kids arent invited to the wedding?When it comes to inviting children, you should never put NoChildren or Adult Reception Only on a wedding invitation. Instead, pre-write the invited guests names on their RSVP card so theyll know exactly who is invited. Or, put a line beneath their name on the RSVP card with _____/2, so they know that two peo-ple are invited and can fill in how many will be attending.What can we do if our guest list starts to get too long?Its helpful to have an A-List and B-List (although you should never inform your guests of their status!). Send your first round of save-the-dates to your A-List only. If guests let you know theycant make it, you can extend invitations to B-List guests.DANIELLE CARGILL PHOTOGRAPHY102 TODAYS BRIDE|12-8 MONTHS UNTIL I DO|INVITATIONS & STATIONERY'
