Constructing the Guest List
|
|
Make a list of everyone you would like
to attend, if they have young children, then you should assume the children will also attend
|
|
|
Next to each name, write down the total number of guests
that you expect to turn up with that person, or couple.
|
|
|
Once, you have completed your list, total the number of guests.
|
|
|
If this number is greater than the number you can invite, then start going through the list removing the least important until you have reached
the required number.
|
|
|
If there are people you would like to invite, but cannot, create another list and go through this list when the people you have invited
have declined the invitation.
|
|
|
Use you invitation list to keep track of replies, mark down whether they have accepted, or declined, if someone has failed to reply within a reasonable
timescale, chase them up with a polite phone call explaining you need to know their response before you can place your catering order.
|
|
|
If you ask everyone
to RSVP early, then the people who receive the second batch of invitations
probably will not realize they have been invited because someone else
have declined. |
