Destination Wedding Guest Estimate

Do you have a list of people you are sending invites to? Bc technically they *could* all come, so you’d need to find a venue that could potentially hold all of them.

There's calculators online that help you determine your invited vs who will show. That might help you

Sorry, I just saw your other post about the no kids and that potentially reducing the # of guests. So you really don’t know until you get RSVPs but: we created a list of all the people and identified the possible no-shows, just based on what we knew about each person (This person lost their job and still looking for a new, this person hates to fly, they are expecting a baby around time of wedding...). We also created a FB STD which some people replied to but only a few. So far we have been surprised by half of RSVPs though, so I’m glad we got a venue that would have accommodated everyone if they all responded YES.

I agree with the above! You should find a venue that holds as many people as you’re inviting but you can also get a rough estimate of those you know or think will come like immediate family, wedding party, and close friends. We’re also doing a destination wedding. We made a rough draft of our guest list and picked out those we know will come and those we know won’t. We put all the maybes in with the yes’s. We expect about 50-60 to show to ours and all the venues we considered held between 100-200 so it was easy for us to find one that would work.
