Hi everyone! I will be getting married soon, i am going to have a garden themed wedding. The problem here is that such kind of themes require d least no of pple as possible, how do i achieve this? i want my special day classy and fun.

It's a fact that 20percent of those you invites won't show up!

in nigeria they will.

i disagree with woke4all. telling someone not to bring +1person is insultive! the best way out is to take the wedding ceremony to a place other than where you reside and make sure you dont provide transportation. That way, most people would not want to spend their transport.

^^^ i kind of agree with you that asking someone not to bring a +1 might be insultive, what if i invite a female/male friend and he or she wants to bring someone along? And about taking the reception venue far away, Hmmm, Nigerians will cross 9 rivers, 6 oceans, and climb 3 mountains just to attend a function


[b]do not invite people who you have not communicated with in less than six months.
[/b] I agree with woke4all on this, i have decided to actually bring it down to 3months

Then eliminate most distant relations of family
hopefully this will work too, because my Mum's family is quite large! c[s]ome to think of it the thot actually scares me [/s]

Lolz, 

In that case if he's expecting 100 he should then invite 70

  That's true.

Then he should invite less and expect more.



@.OREKELEWA1,   What are you sacred of the expenses or that's just the settings you want?

How many people are we talking about here? [color=#550000]

^^^ its not the expenses thats got me worried, let me itemise my worries below

1. I want to avoid disorganization as much as i can, i noticed that large no of guests most time cause disorganization

2. As much as possible i want people who attend be people who know me and i know, makes it merrier! not just some random guest

3. Like i mentioned earlier my wedding is garden theme, i can only afford to have about 50 - 70pple there, anything above that is crowd.

those are just a few of my concerns

^^
In terms of disorganisation, It's really a big mess up when ur party is not as planned.

I have attended a wedding that there were not even enough chairs for guest to sit, they were sufficient food but, those distributing drinks/food seems to hv special people they give them to and some hv to leave with double drinks while some didn't even tasted water and you hv to buy almost everything yourself even WATER though the couple was rich.

Hmmmm the worst was the celebrants were looking like students on ragg day. Lol


Though am not married yet,

My advice here is since ur problem is not cash, then get a wedding planner.

Tell everyone there,s gonna be a bomb at the venue, that,s gonna keep a whole lotta ppl away
