If you have seen hundreds of nail art designs and are unsure which one to choose, the classic French manicure is always a safe and sure bet, as you can never go wrong with white and pink French tips. It gives a feminine and mesmerizing vibe and is considered the go-to wedding nail look. You can also make a statement by amping up the design. Simply add tiny gemstones on the white tip, separating it from the pink base, and voila!

To bring out the glam in your wedding look, adding sparkles to the white and pink tone nails would add an elegant touch. To not steal focus from your bridal ensemble, have a soft base of pink with some white nail paint design on top. Either opt for a top layer of sparkle to the overall nail or just add some shimmer to the design.

If pastel shades are your vibe, going with an all-pink option would be a great nail look to pull off. Go for a soft pink color, which looks almost white and would undoubtedly make your nails pop much more. To add some intriguing design to the minimalistic look, add some cute flower or heart patterns on top. Seal the look with transparent nail paint, and you are good to go. You can experiment with the pastel pink base to your heart’s desire.

When it comes to weddings, pink and white ombres are elegant and romantic, all in one. This nail paint combo will work wonderfully for brides who want a subtle and traditional look. Giving your nails a square shape and adding glitter would add to the dazzling look. You can go from a simple classic French look to adding studs or glitter to the mix. So, don’t stress out and go get your nails groomed up!

There are a few aspects of wedding planning that can get truly tedious. One of them is to finalize the guest list. Whether you want to invite every person you ever meet, go for an intimate ceremony, or do something in between, figuring out how many people to invite is never an easy task. Here, we’re breaking down the steps to deciding your final guest count for your big day.

Things to Consider

The golden fact of wedding planning is more guests means more cost. The trickle effect of total guest count includes food and beverages, rentals, flowers, linens, stationeries, transportation, etc. So, be aware before adding just an extra 10 people. Next, the difference in vibes between a wedding with nearly 500 people and a 50-person wedding, is huge. It’s totally up to you which vibe you prefer for your big day. If personal touches or dreamy details are your game, then consider scaling down. Also, generally, wedding venues come with their own accommodation capacity limits. Unless you’re getting hitched on private property, with more wiggle room, the capacity factor of your wedding venue is directly determinant in finalizing your guest count.

The Process

This is where things get tough and you’ll either need to stick to your plan or modify it as needed. As stressed earlier, budget is the most critical component in figuring out the size of your wedding guest list. So, have an honest conversation with your partner, family, and the planner, with a clear view of your overall budget range and probable cost per head. Now, great writers always write first and at the earliest! It’s very important to get a pen and paper and start writing the names of the people you want to be there on your big day. It will make prioritizing easier based on your projected cost per head. Lastly, it’s not wise to rely on the typical 80-85% of guests’ return for your wedding invitation. People are generally more enthusiastic about any celebration as a chance to travel and let down their hair. So, only the people you care about should make your final guest list.

The Final Say

Unfortunately, it’s tough to determine who makes the final call in the entire planning and execution. If some family members are contributing financially, they’re obviously entitled to an opinion. The best way to prepare the wedding guest list is to make it a collaborative effort among the involved parties, with the bride and groom having the final say.
