Task 4
Your fourth task is to group the guests up. There is no definitive guide here, as all families are different. However, essentially what you're looking for, is to group guests together with other guests who must all have the same invite status applied to them. People often incorrectly assume that (for example) because one cousin is invited then all the cousins must be invited, but this is not always the case. If one cousin lives next door and you see them everyday, then this is an entirely different situation to a cousin who emigrated to Australia 10 years ago who you haven't spoken to since. Potential guests can be grouped based on a multitude of reasons, not just because they share the same relationship to you.
A grouping system can have any number of groups, and a typical example is as follows:
-
Group 1: Wedding Party
-
Group 2: Bride’s Grandparents, Groom’s Grandparents on Father’s side, Groom’s Uncle John and Auntie Mary.
-
Group 3: Groom’s Grandparent’s on Mother’s side, Bride’s Aunties & Uncles x 4, Groom’s Auntie’s & Uncles x 2.
-
Group 4: Bride’s Work colleagues from office, Groom’s Work Colleagues (all), Bride’s Cousins (x 3 + partners).
-
Group 5: Bride’s Work Colleagues (remainder), Groom’s Cousin Tom + Wife.
-
Group 6: Neighbours on both sides + Groom's Cousins from New Zealand.
However you decide to group your guests, one final point to remember is that the groups don't need to be evenly split between friends/relatives of the Bride, and friends/relatives of the Groom. It is quite acceptable to end up with many more guests on one side than the other, and it is a very common scenario at weddings these days.
