On this season’s Castle, Detective Beckett and Castle find themselves with a 300+ guest list for their wedding. When Beckett comments on a particular celebrity guest who Castle invited despite not liking the guy, Castle’s response was that he didn’t want to offend anyone by not inviting them. Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

Sometimes the best way to stay under that budget is to be really picky about the guest list. How do you choose who to invite? Well this TV couple has an answer for you: ditch your current guest list, sit down with a blank piece of paper, and write the names that come to mind first.<\/p>\n

Another more organized way to go about trimming your guest list is to put your guests into categories.<\/p>\n

– Close family
\n– Distant family
\n– Work
\n– Teachers<\/p>\n

Then either completely eliminate one of the categories or decide which categories are less important to you and trim those down.<\/p>\n

No matter how many guests you have, Greenvelope<\/a> can help you track RSVPs and more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
