    Small for my family- all we have are our siblings and their SO and their kids and some of our really close friends and we are over 80 and I’m sure we’ve forgotten a few. 5 GM 5 BM two flowers girls and a ring bearer.

    Medium! LOL we have a huge wedding party 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen. But we only have about 120 guests coming so I think that would be considered medium.

    70 on the guest list, would be shocked if more than 50 showed up, and that's still larger than I really expected it to be when we started! I can't wrap my head around the idea that people have 200+ people on their guest list, but I'm also of the opinion that there's no point in inviting anyone but your nearest and dearest. Oh, and 3 BMs, 3 GMs, and no other members of the wedding party.

    I guess our wedding is on the smaller side (in comparison to some of you other ladies!). It's not finalized, but our guest list is at about 140 right now (invitations have not been sent out yet) and we have 6 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen. We won't be having a ring bearer or flower girl.

    Small! We have 4 people total in our bridal party and if I had it my way we would have only invited immediate family. RSVPs have started coming in and so far there are only 44 attendees so maybe I'll get my wish of under 100 guests! 50 or less would be fantastic.

    I feel like ours is big? Inviting 208 (expecting 150), We each have 2 bridesmaids, then 2 flower girls and a ring barer. Bridesmaids are expensive!

    I think ours falls somewhere in between big and small. Only 3BM/GM plus one ring bearer and one flower girl. But we're inviting about 125 guests, hoping for about 100 to actually attend. So, small-ish I guess. lol

    We are having a smaller wedding at the beach in Destin! 4 bridesmaids/groomsmen & about 60 guests. So excited for a more intimate ceremony.

    I consider it small… About 80 people will be invited (but I feel about 50 will show, which is perfect). And we have zero people in the bridal party, besides FH and I.
