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.
