Wedding Guest List

weddingguestlist, originally uploaded by bertine.

Here is our guest list count so far. This should be pretty close to the final amount, though I suppose that my parents will have forgotten someone or I will make some new friends or something.

I know that some of the people I am inviting won't come for various reasons. I have a good childhood friend that is a pastor in Chicago and so I don't think he will be able to make a wedding in Minneapolis the day after Christmas. I also have some children in these counts that I might not invite. However, I put them in there for a worst case number and right now it isn't so bad.

I am going to be honest and let you know that not everyone of you are invited even if you live in Minneapolis. It isn't because I don't like you, it is because of that 80 in my family column. BTW, I dropped some family members because I am mean like that. No, not you snurri, you are cool.

You have it all in a program? (:

I know it is commercial and over-hyped but I played with a bunch of sites and they have a good UI and TO-DO tracking software. I just deleted all the stuff about whiting my teeth and going to the gym.

Now I'm slightly disappointed (:

Look at the reports they have! The "Out of Town Guest" section? I can define anything I want in there. All the Groups are user defined also. They have a nice way of setting up the todo list so I can print it out and hand Zach his list so he doesn't have to go into the site.

I didn't want to like the site but of course it is good, they are the ones with the money to hire programmers. However, they do have some stuff that could be improved upon.

I am. It is fun to geek out about website UIs

As long as you're not constantly freaking out about how you could improve it (;

Wow. The Knot was NOT like that when I was getting married.

I was impressed by it. Someone has taken some time with it. However, there are aspects of it that I can see are legacy pages.

I never take these things personally. weddings are expensive.

I don't either, I just like to upfront and honest with people. If I could I would invite everyone on my friends list because I like everyone and I am pretty inclusive with things. Still, I am starting to see my friends with little dollar signs above their heads. LOL.

Oh that? That's always been there. You like it?

That's a crazy-huge family you have there! Of course, mine is so ridiculously crazy-huge that we don't even really know each other, if that makes sense. Glad to see that the plans are coming together so well!

I am really social and know pretty much everyone. Zach was making fun of me because my coworkers list is bigger than his family list. Sigh.

You never have to justify your guest list. At least with me!

Try not to stress who you're inviting and who you're not. You don't have to justify it. Folks will just have to understand. Like eyelid said, weddings are expensive.
