About two weeks ago, my fiance and I tackled the guest list. I know, I know you might think this is early, but some of our favorite venue choices have strict guest counts. So to get an idea of how many guests we were expecting, we got busy. First, I pulled out my hefty Excel spreadsheet and created columns across the top and the left hand side. Up top of course, were first and last name. I also went ahead and created address headings like address 1, address 2, city, state and zip to get a head start when I eventually have to start collecting addresses for save the dates and wedding invitations.
