Compiling your guest list helps narrow down your choices. Before you begin, your search for the perfect reception site, you need to know how many persons you must accommodate. I call this step KYN or knowing your numbers. Why waste your time looking at a venue that’s to large or small. KYN helps you determine the number of favors, meals, linen, programs and invitations to order. Knowing exactly what you need keeps you within your budget.

Speaking of invitations, order your invitations based on the number of households and not the number of persons invited, this prevents over ordering. However, order a few extra for those last minute additions or that special person you may have overlooked. Check out our large selections of invitations through Stylark and Carlson Crafts. Work on that guest list.

Knowing your KYN saves you time and money. Can’t wait to share more money saving tips. Check in often.
