How many RSVPS did you get for the amount of invites you sent out? For what we paid at our venue, we get 150 guests, however we can pay more for additional guests as late as a week before, up to 300. FH and I are going to invite more than that 150 and don't mind paying the extra for additional...

How many RSVPS did you get for the amount of invites you sent out?

For what we paid at our venue, we get 150 guests, however we can pay more for additional guests as late as a week before, up to 300. FH and I are going to invite more than that 150 and don't mind paying the extra for additional guests, we have it set aside in our budget. however we definitely don't want to be UNDER that 150, because then we are not getting our money's worth for the amount of guests we've already paid our venue for, if that makes sense. So I want to invite enough people that we get AT LEAST to that 150 number, hopefully just slightly over. (: invites are such an exact science lol.

So, I want some insight ladies! For those of you who have already sent invites: what was the ratio to how many guests you invited, and how many RSVP's you have received?

    Our goal was 150 for our wedding and we sent out invites for probably 170. My husband thought we should invite more but I reallyy didn't want to go over the 150.. well he was right. We had gone over the list and counted how many people we thought would/wouldn't attend based on travel and such, but we did have some not able to come for unexpected reasons, conflicts with the date, and people who didn't bring their kids when we though they would. We ended up with around 140 and did end up inviting a few more a little closer to the wedding as we got RSVP's back. Hope this helps!

    @Melanie this helps a ton since we had the same "target number" 140 is really great though, close to your number for sure. Our number right now is about 170 as well but I'm sure it will change as it gets closer!
