guest list. When the excitement of the coming event takes over, your
clients and their parents will many times have a very long list of

the parents' visions of the reception can resemble an extravaganza with
hundreds of guests, munching caviar and drinking champagne all night

expenses involved in their dream reception, your skills as the Wedding
Planner will be well served here.

list small and only inviting close family and friends will save money
and still provide the dream celebration your clients want. If your
client hasn't had a close relationship with college friends or neighbors
