He Said:
So this guest list thing is tougher than expected. I was hoping to invite very one I could think of to share our special day with us. Then reality hit me... It is looking like we are going to have to cut back a bit. The number of guests we are inviting is 150 which sounds like a lot but when you start putting names on paper there are more names than spots. It’s going to be hard deciding who we are inviting and who we won't. Decisions decisions. Allyson tried several times this weekend to get the guest list nailed down. I have been trying to avoid it... I know we need to get the save the date cards out, but seriously, where is the fire.
She Said:
Well, since I always pictured myself having a very small wedding that would include immediate family only; I had never, never, never thought about the guest list. Now, I get why brides stress out. I get the whole Bridezilla thing! Because this is enough to make a person go postal! So I find myself with a list of 200 people and not enough money in the budget to feed them! Yes, I have anxiety sometimes. Usually it happens around Christmas time when every family member of mine is staying in my house at once; but I found my chest hurting me again looking at this freak’in list of names! Can someone pass the Xanax please? I feel an anxiety attack coming on! Joe has calmed me down, by assuring me we will cut the list down. It’s funny because he was up for everyone coming until I reminded him just how much money per person extra we’d have to tack on our bill. Haha, sure enough he started assuring me we would cut down the list, no questions asked. We are currently working on THE LIST. I’ll keep you updated.

If you're target is 150, I think you need to invite 10-15% over that number due to the amount of people who don't show (there are exact estimates in wedding magazines - speaking of which, have mine arrived yet?!?!). We invited 225, and only 185 showed up... Keep that in mind.
Also, since you have a location & date - you should look to that City to see if they host Bridal / Wedding shows. If they do, you'll get to see all the local vendors - photography, flowers, etc.
