Decreasing guest count thoughts?

Hi all! I was originally already planning a pretty small wedding of around 50 guests. The venue I have booked allows a max of 60. Now, however, after seeing how expensive catering is, I’m thinking of going down to maybe 30-35. This will save us significant money and put our budget more where I hoped...

the only thing is do you think this number of guests will make the Venue seem to big? It’s not a typical venue, as it is a conservatory and botanical garden.

also, any tips for explaining to those not invited that it is going to be an intimate wedding of closest friends and family? Thanks!

    I've decreased my guest count a few times as well due to costs. I'm just going to tell all the people expecting an invite that it will only be family. I do have 3 friends coming but whatever. It isn't anyone's business.
