"Imbalance in Guest Numbers: Should You Worry About the Disparity Between the Groom's and Bride's Guests?"

What about the guest difference between the groom and bride...?

Of course, you want to invite many important people from your life to the wedding reception♡ However, the task of listing the invited guests is both enjoyable and challenging. This is because you need to consider the balance between the groom's guests and the bride's guests according to the capacity of the reception venue...＞＜

Naturally, since the lives of the two individuals are different, the composition of relatives and the number of friends you want to invite will also differ. So, how should you adjust the balance of the number of guests...? We will explain various questions regarding guests!

【First of all.】 What is the average ratio of guests?

It is said that the typical number of invitees for a wedding reception is around 60 to 80 guests. Moreover, the ratio of guests is often around 5:5 for both the groom's side and the bride's side♡ Alternatively, sometimes the groom’s side has a slight majority at a ratio of 6:4◎

【Concern ①】 What if there are a lot of guests on the groom's side?

Having more guests on the groom's side is absolutely fine◎ However, if the ratio becomes 7:3 or 8:2, it may be necessary to discuss whether to evenly split the reception costs or to have the groom's side bear more of the burden...! Since this is a financial issue, it is advisable to confirm with the parents in advance♩

【Concern ②】 What if there are a lot of guests on the bride's side?

In the past, it was considered inappropriate for the bride's guests to outnumber the groom's guests. Of course, this is no longer a concern, but it’s still reassuring to get the approval of each parent's side♡ If you absolutely have to reduce guests, you can handle it by inviting them to a second party instead＊

【Concern ③】 Is it weird if there is actually a significant difference in numbers?

However, some brides may wonder if it’s strange for there to be a large imbalance between the groom's guests and the bride's guests... The answer is, without a doubt, it’s fine♡! If you consult with the planner about seating arrangements, they will think it through properly, and there's no need to feel sad or worry just because there are fewer guests♡ You will actually have more opportunities to provide attentive hospitality to each individual♩

Additionally, according to testimonials from senior brides, when there are many guests from the groom's side, the wedding tends to have a powerful atmosphere and be lively. In contrast, when there are many guests from the bride's side, the wedding is often glamorous and emotional♩ Either way, an amazing wedding will surely take place♡

【Summary.】 If you discuss it thoroughly, the guest difference doesn't matter♡

So, how was it? Even if there is a difference in the number of invitees between the groom and bride, it is a once-in-a-lifetime wedding experience♡ I think it’s best to invite the people you want without worrying about balance♡ A wedding is made possible by the guests who take the precious time to attend＊ I hope you can hold a wonderful and enjoyable reception without any regrets regarding the guests...♡
