The Ultimate Guide to Wedding Guest List in Singapore: Who to Invite and Who to Exclude

Deciding on our wedding guest list in Singapore was a journey of careful consideration. Here are some rules we followed that might help you too:

Friends

Will we still be a part of each other's lives in the next 5 years?

Opting for quality over quantity, we invited those who stood the test of time, ensuring our wedding album is a joyful reflection, not a reminder of lost connections.

Family

Recognizing the importance of the dinner reception for our parents, we let them decide who to invite and handle the seating chart. Parents covered the cost of their guests, simplifying logistics and finances.

Ceremony Guest List:

For our solemnisation ceremony, we invited only our closest family and best friends. This intimate gathering ensured those present had played a meaningful role in our relationship.

Plus Ones

We welcomed +1s for married or engaged guests. For others, we extended invitations only to those we had met before. It's a thoughtful way to manage costs for both the couple and the guests.

Kids

Empowering parents, we left the decision of bringing kids to their discretion. Offering a separate kids meal option allowed flexibility. Mixed responses reflected diverse needs, with some attending with kids and others choosing a child-free celebration.
