Creating your wedding guest list can be one of the most exciting—and sometimes challenging—parts of wedding planning. At Prospect House in Dripping Springs, Texas, we believe your guest list should be a reflection of the intimate and meaningful connections in your lives. To help you navigate this process, we've compiled a few tips to ensure your celebration is filled with the people you cherish most.

1. Start with a Vision: Before diving into names, envision the atmosphere you desire for your wedding day. Do you picture an intimate gathering with your closest loved ones or a larger celebration with extended family and friends? At Prospect House wedding venue in gorgeous Texas Hill Country, our maximum capacity is 220 guests for a seated reception and 400 for a cocktail-style event, providing a beautiful setting for both intimate and grand celebrations.

2. Set Clear Parameters: Discuss with your partner and families any "must-invite" guests and any limitations you might have. Consider factors such as budget, venue capacity, and desired ambiance when establishing your initial guest list.

3. Prioritize Meaningful Connections: As you build your list, focus on those who have played a significant role in your lives and relationship. Think about the people who will bring joy and support to your special day.

4. Consider Plus Ones Mindfully: Decide on a plus-one policy that feels right for you. Will you extend plus ones to all guests, only those in committed relationships, or only those who you know well?

5. Be Prepared to Make Tough Choices: It's not uncommon to encounter limitations, whether due to budget, venue capacity, or family dynamics. If you need to make adjustments, remember to prioritize those who are closest to you and who will contribute to the joyous atmosphere of your wedding.

6. Communicate with Clarity and Kindness: Once your guest list is finalized, send out invitations promptly and clearly communicate any important details, such as RSVP deadlines and any restrictions (e.g., adults-only reception).
