Family List Template For Your Wedding Day | Detroit Wedding Photographer
A few tips:
This is usually the trickiest part of the day because it’s hard to gather everybody in an extended family so I would stick with just immediate family to keep it easy - but of course this is YOUR day and request whatever is important to you!
You want these to go by quickly so that guests aren't waiting too long and you have more time for couple’s portraits/sunset photos after your ceremony.
I would start your list off with Grandparents (if present) so that they are not waiting too long.
If somebody other than immediate family is like immediate family to you - feel free to include them!
Make a note of stepparents / significant others - whether you want photos with them or not, discuss that with you and your partner.
