I keep going back and forth on whether I should invite everyone on my guest list I've made. I have 194 including children and my venue only allow 160. I have heard that a lot of guest don't come but am I being too hopeful that 34 people wont attend? I have a few people on my guest list that I know wont be able to attend but I have to send an invite to be polite (Too elderly to travel, cant get off work, ect) that is only about 6 people. Should I send all 194 an invitation? Give me your opinions and let me know how many people you invited vs. how many people actually came.

Rule of thumb is this: you can invite as many people as your venue can hold, and as many people as you can afford to accommodate, but never assume anyone will say no. As long as your venue is big enough, and you have the funds to feed and accommodate everyone, go for it! =)

Is there an opportunity to change to a larger venue?

No B list.
No over capacity venue.
Like PPs said-- what will you do if all 194 day yes?
We invited 185 and had 150 but 95% of guests were at least 1 hour away and 70% more than 1 hour away. I would not count on declines because we had about 30 people we thought were long shots who came so don't write anyone off
