The guest list conversation, gently

Two families, one number. A planner's way to agree a guest list without a single raised voice.

Start with the venue's real capacity, not the dream number.

Split by circle

Family, friends, parents' friends, work. Give each family a share, then trade.

Decide the plus-ones rule once

Write it down and apply it to everyone.

Keep a waitlist

Regrets come in. A short waitlist means nobody is left out by accident.
