Guest List Breakdown

FFW, on February 24, 2016 at 11:07 AM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 37

I'm interested in seeing how everyone's guest list was made up. How many guest did you invite? What percent was your family, your SO's family, your friends, your SO's friends, and others (parent's friend, etc)? Lastly, if you are married already, how many invited guest actually showed?

    We're inviting 30 from FHs fathers side and 28 from his mother's side (her friends included), 99 of my family and my parents close friends, and 48 of my and FHs friends. 205 in total? I feel like that's wrong but close enough!

    We have 27 and I have 3 none family and he has 2 none family.

    The photographer makes 6 of 27 total. So 22% of our guests are none family.

    So, we're inviting 191 people total (worst case with plus ones). Here's our breakdown:

    41% family. FH inviting more, but basically even.

    18% work. FH is inviting all partners from his firm, I'm only inviting 4 people and plus ones.

    41% Friends. I'm inviting more.

    We invited 255 and had exactly 200. I'd say we were broken down like this:

    50% family

    30% friends

    5% co workers

    15% family friends (parents friends)

    28 friends

    72 FH family and close family friends

    33 FH friends

    We invited 250. About 20 percent family and extended family (we are older so there are no gparents etc), About 15 percent church mutual friends, about 15 percent coworkers. the other 50 percent is divided among close friends and those we went to school with.

    A lot of you have a good chunk of friends attending. I am really only inviting 3 friends that aren't already BMs. FH has much more friends than I do. I think if I had gotten married in 2014 or engaged while we were in law school I may have invited more friends. But overtime I realize since graduating I see less and less of them or not at all so I didn't bother.
