Dealing with guest list drama
It's another episode of Offbeat Bride video advice! Woohoo! Apologies for the delay on this one — this vid is actually a few weeks old (my hair is now six inches shorter), but I was having issues with my camera's memory card. Bla bla bla, technical difficulties whatever — here we go!

Good "post", Ariel.

It also works if you have a big extended family to have a cut off that you absolutely adhere to. For example, only first cousins are invited. This way, there is an organized limit.

Make sure all your pre-party guest know they are not invited to the wedding and please, please don't call it a shower. It will come off as gift-grabb-y as showers are a gift event.
