Mastering Your Guest List for a Cape Town Wedding


Hi Lovebirds,

Cape Town! The perfect setting for a destination wedding is filled with breathtaking scenery, vibrant culture, and unforgettable memories. But planning a wedding from afar comes with its own set of challenges, especially when it comes to the guest list.

Check out our blog on how we can make your planning stress-free!

Don't worry, lovebirds! We've got you covered.

Here are some common guest list mistakes to avoid when planning your Cape Town wedding:

  • Underestimating Travel Costs: Be mindful of the financial burden travel and accommodation can place on your guests.
  • Ignoring Travel Logistics: Consider factors like flight schedules, visa requirements, and travel time when inviting guests, especially those coming from long distances.
  • Forgetting Plus-Ones: Decide on a plus-one policy early on and communicate it clearly to avoid confusion or hurt feelings.
  • Neglecting Age & Health: Consider the physical demands of travel and activities when inviting older guests or those with health limitations.
  • Underestimating Venue Capacity: Cape Town venues can have limited capacity, so ensure your guest list aligns with the space restrictions.

Planning a destination wedding in Cape Town requires a thoughtful approach to your guest list.
