    We are inviting about 100, I expect maybe 80 to show up. The last few weddings I’ve been to have been about this size and it has felt perfect to me!

    My sister had about 85 invited and I think her count ended up being 67. It was in a nice backyard so it felt like lots of people to me!

    To me, ours is big. We are inviting around 105 people, but plans may change due to COVID. Our wedding is in December and things are changing pretty quicly so we'll see how many show up.

    Big over 200 are invited- we expect only 130-150 to show due to some traveling internationally and my FH said most of his family won't travel the 3 hours even though we have transportation provided

    I myself consider that big, then I see the girls in the fb wedding groups with almost 300 invited. For me 94 is huge.

    We have only invited 120 to our wedding. Which for some is a big wedding, but for us its actually a small wedding. We had to keep it small because our budget is small so we decided to invite only close family and friends that we talk to regularly.

    We have the same mindset. I want it to be intimate and heartfelt, so only those close to us will be invited

    I think 100 is the sweet spot, after that…. I don’t know how people aren’t stressed out of their minds.

    I’m hoping we’ll have a similar turnout. Inviting 80 and maybe 60-65 will show!

    That’s really intimate. Is this because of COVID or was this the original plan?
