guest list

finally hkmum has given me a list of people! and holy cow, 45 people who are 'just family'. gosh! seems like a whole lot for a wedding of 120-ish (conservative number) people... hkmotherinlaw has already given us a list from her side. basically hkgroom's side is looking at around 45 family invites with a 90% turn out. with my side however, as the majority of family are overseas, i've counted 10 people off the bat who are unlikely to come.

anyway, just subscribed to the knot where they have a guest list manager tool. pretty cool as i can keep track of my 'A' (just family) and 'B' list, guests and their guests, whose side of the family the guest is from, how many invited, how many and who has RSPVed etc. not bad. scarily, my list says 212 people will be invited (hkgroom will have a heart attack!) with 86 people on the 'A' list.

this website also has lots of information and pics on dresses, hairstyles, rings, colour schemes, honeymoons, real weddings, and even a place for people to host their own wedding website! very very cool. great way to keep guests informed about the wedding.

speaking of wedding websites, hkgroom and i will buy our own wedding website domain on our wedding date so we only have to pay for a year's subscription. i need to get more info from hkgroom as to which company's service we will use....
